Hucunnan


Porphyry skarn-type deposit. Metal resource: 0.51 Mt Cu (@1.13%)
The deposit is divided into two categories: shallow Cu orebodies and deep Cu–Mo
orebodies. The shallow orebodies, which are located in the contact zone between the granodiorite and carbonate wall-rocks, exhibit characteristics indicative of skarn-type mineralization. The deep orebodies are distributed within the granodiorite and the granodiorite–carbonate contact zone, occurring at a depth of more than 1000 m below the current surface, characterized as a mixture genesis of porphyry-type and skarn-type.
