The Pingyuancun copper deposit occurs in the bottom part of the Carboniferous dolomite, which has been
strongly silicified. Some trenching and aditing work discovered the orebody of some 10m wide. The orebody
has been traced for over 60m along an adit previously dug by local people. The ores contain about 4-5%
Cu with 8-25 g/t Ag, and there appears to be a normal correlation between the contents of copper
and silver. The geological and elemental characteristics suggest the Pingyuancun deposit may be the type
of sandstone hosted copper¡±. Therefore, there is a potential to find major copper mineralization in the
silicified carbonate rock and in the underlying red sandstones. |
