Abstract:Wujialou copper deposit is a mediumlow temperature hydrothermal type copper deposit. Based on the study of geological characteristics, controlling factors, origin of Wujialou copper deposit, it is regarded that faults with the trend of NW have controlled the driection of copperbearing quartz vein and malachitization, baratization cataclasite. On the basic of analyzing prospecting criterias, it is supposed to increase much more efforts in deep and peripheral prospecting in a view to discover new copper bodies.
