Name(s) in local language(s):
金厂金镍矿 (墨江金镍矿; 元江金矿), 墨江哈尼族自治县, 普洱市, 云南省, 中国


Shear zone-hosted gold-nickel deposit, occurring in the contact zone between ultramafic intrusions and metasedimentary rocks. The mineralization styles include ultramafic hosted primary nickel sulfide-arsenide and secondary laterite-type nickel mineralization, as well as gold-bearing quartz veins.

The reserves are 31.740 tons, with a grade of 2.69 g/t. The eastern part of the mining area consists of the Jinchang ultramafic rock mass, which has undergone intense serpentinization. Two sets of strata are exposed in the west, with lithologies of Triassic Yiwanshui Formation metamorphic siltstone and siliceous rocks, and alternating layers of slightly metamorphosed metamorphic siltstone and slate.

Located in the border region of Mojiang and Yuanjiang counties.
