Abstract:Sanfengshan copper deposit locates in 80 km east of Ruoqiang county in Lop nur in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and locates in favorable belts of south Tianshan metallogenic zones. Geological and tectonic features are more complex with good metallogenic conditions and larger metallogenic potentiality. Ore bodies have close relation with andesitic tuff and structures. They are a good prospecting marks. Through studying geological characteristics, summarizing the origins of deposits and orecontrolling factors, it is confirmed that deposits in this area are located in contacting belts of andesitic tuff and carbon chlorite schist and phyllite. Through tectonic and hydrothermal process in late period, oreforming elements have been migrated and enriched completely, and concentrated in favorable oreforming belts.
