DIVISION OF METALLOGENIC SERIES AND DELINEATION OF PROSPECTIVE AREAS IN FUSHUN, LIAONING PROVINCE

Based on the characteristics of magmatism, metamorphism, sedimentation, structural conditions and ore-forming ages, as well as the characteristics of the deposits themselves, the deposits in Fushun, Liaoning Province are grouped into 3 metallogenic assemblages, with 11 metallogenic series. The complex metallogenic series are further divided into sub-series. The characteristics of metallogenesis and minerals of each series are discussed briefly. On the basis of metallogenesis of deposits, geophysical and geochemical anomalies and remote sensing information, 6 prospective areas of Grade V, with 17 sub-areas, are delineated. Au, Ag, Cu, Mo, Pb, Zn, Pt-Pd, Nb-Ta, Fe, limestone and coal bed gas are decided as the key minerals for prospecting. The prospecting direction is also pointed out.
