Abstract:The Xiongcun copper-gold deposit is an island arc porphyry copper-gold deposit newly discovered in the Gangdise metallogenic belt. It consists of three ore bodies. No.Ⅱ ore body is located 3 km northwest of No.Ⅰ ore body. Cu, Au, and Ag mineralizations occur in early K-silicate alteration zone and sericite-muscovite-quartz-sulphide zone. Early K-silicate alteration is characterized by biotite+magnetite±K-feldspar+chalcopyrite+pyrite, and is rich in magnetite. Element distribution characteristics and correlation analysis show that Cu is well correlated to Au and Ag. Au- and Ag-bearing chalcopyrite is mainly distributed at the center of the ore deposit. Cu is positively related to K, Rb and negatively related to Na, suggesting that the mineralization is mainly related to early K-silicate alteration. Later mineralization occurs around the ore body mainly as sphalerite and galena veins. From the center to the outer part, sixteen elements related to Cu, Au and Ag are zoned around the center, i.e., Cu, Au, Ag, K, Rb, Ba-Mo-Co, Ni-Pb, Zn, Mn, Ag, Sb-Na. The element distribution is similar to zoned alteration. They are controlled by such factors as hydrothermal fluid, translation condition, p-T and primary composition of the host rock. The zoned element characteristics and assemblies are of guiding significance for future exploration.
