Abstract:Zhongliang copper nickel polymetallic deposit in Jinping county is located in the southeast of crystalline basement fault block of Ailaoshan Mountain in Yunnan province. It is a magmatic crystallization differentiation and liquation type. In order to identify characteristics of the ore bodies and expand prospecting outcomes, bt using geological, geophysical, geochemical and surface engineering methods, the ore bodies have been identified. Copper nickel ore bodies and iron ore (mineralized) bodies have been delineated in the mafic ultramafic complex intruded along the NW trending F1 fault. Based on the analysis of geological characteristics of the deposit, it is believed that the basic ultrabasic complex in the study area, the NW trending fracture zone, the soil geochemical anomaly area of Cu, Ni, Co, V, Ti and other elements, and the crust and honeycomb shaped gossans exposed on the surface are important prospecting indicators in the study area.
