Abstract:Through geological and mineral resources exploration in Honghuaping zinc deposit in Xunyang county of Shaanxi province, I1 zinc ore body and some small magnitude ore bodies controlled by single geological construction have been circled. The already determined reserve of zinc resource is 7.43×104t, the engineering controlling length of ore body is 990m, and the inclined depth is 393m. Thickness of ore body is 0.44~11.35m, and average thickness is 2.65m; the grade of zinc is 0.96%~23.85% and average grade is 6.14%. The grade of lead is 0.01%~1.28% and average grade is 0.13%. In this paper, through analysis on characteristics of ore bodies and mineral resources, geological and geochemical characteristics, geological structures of deposits, the age of mineralization and its origin, it is regarded that Honghuaping zinc deposit is a hydrothermaltransformation type zinc deposit.
