The Daejang deposit has two orebodies, that is, North Cu-Pb-Zn-Au-Ag and South Cu-Au-Ag orebodies. The strike/slip of ore veins of the North orebody is N15°W to 65°∼ 85°NE, with ore grades of ∼0.11 wt% for Cu, 3–7 g/t for Pb, 2–5 g/t for Zn, ∼ 0.4 g/t for Au, and 380–770 g/t for Ag. The strike/slip of ore veins of the South orebody is N20°W to 80°SW, and ore grades are ∼3.5 wt% for Cu, 1.4 g/t for Au, and 10–55 g/t for Ag.
