PROSPECTING POTENTIAL OF PORPHYRY COPPER-MOLYBDENUM DEPOSIT IN LUOTUOFENG AREA, QINGHAI PROVINCE

As a multi-type polymetallic mineral enrichment zone, Qimantage metallogenic belt in eastern Kunlun Mountains is among the new Top 10 prospecting potential regions in China. In recent years, a new breakthrough has been made in the prospecting for porphyry Cu-Mo deposits in the zone, which has become a new highlight of prospecting work in the area. There are a large number of geophysical and geochemical anomalies in Luotuofeng area located in the eastern Qimantage metallogenic belt, where porphyry Cu-Mo deposits, skarn-type iron polymetallic deposits and hydrothermal vein-type Cu-Pb-Zn polymetallic deposits have been found, forming the magmatic hydrothermal metallogenic series of porphyry Cu-Mo deposits. By summarizing the metallogenic geological characteristics of the region and Luotuofeng orefield, and analyzing the prospecting prospects of porphyry Cu-Mo deposit, it is considered that the area has favorable conditions for the formation of porphyry Cu-Mo deposit. It is expected that great breakthroughs will be achieved by strengthening the prospecting work.
