Volcanic sedimentary-hydrothermal copper-polymetallic deposit.
Yushui Cu-Pb-Zn sulphide ore is a rare polymetallic ore with extremely high sulfur and high contained metals such as copper, lead, and silver within the ore, which is of high economic value in utilization.
Contains about 102,100 tons of copper, 186,600 tons of lead, 117,600 tons of zinc and 339 tons of silver.
The Yushui copper deposit, was discovered in the 1960 s, with underground mining in progress since the 1985 s. The proven metal reserves include 102.1 kt Cu @ 3.5%, 186.6 kt Pb @ 4.29%, 117.6 kt Zn @ 2.91% and 339 t Ag @ 112 g/t. The exposed strata in the ore district primarily consist of Middle to Upper Devonian clastic rocks, Lower Carboniferous shallow marine to coastal clastic rock assemblages, Lower to Upper Carboniferous shallow marine to coastal carbonate rocks, unconformably overlain by Upper Jurassic continental volcanic rocks, Lower Cretaceous inland lake volcanic-clastic sedimentary rocks, and Quaternary. The Yushui copper deposit consists of two main types of ore bodies (stratabound and vein-type ore body). The main ore body (stratabound ore body) are located between the Zhongxin Formation (C1z) purplish-red quartz sandstone and the Hutian Formation (C2ht) dolostone, with a clear delineation at the boundaries between the hanging wall and footwall. The footwall is intensely altered, while the hanging wall alteration is relatively weak. The vein-type ore body generally appear on the hanging wall of the stratiform ore body and is connected to the stratiform ore body at their roots.
