METALLOGENESIS AND PROSPECTING OF THE ARCHEAN METAMORPHIC SUPRACRUSTAL ROCKS IN FUSHUN REGION, LIAONING PROVINCE

The mineral resources of copper, gold, iron and other metals are rich in the Archean metamorphic supracrustal rocks in Fushun region, Liaoning Province. A number of ore deposits have been found successively by the side, in the deep or near the periphery of the old mining areas, such as the Hongtoushan copper deposit in deep, the large sized Erdaogou, Luobokan and Dadongzhou buried iron deposits, as well as the Xiayingzi molybdenum-gold-polymetal deposit. Based on the recent exploration results, the ore-forming geological background, metallogenic characteristics and spatial distribution of the metamorphic supracrustal rocks in this area are analyzed. With new prospecting theories and new geophysical methods, a great potential of resources in the old mining areas is predicted.
