Granitoid-related gold deposit, hosted in Kunyushan gneissic granite, and consisting of quartz veins, veinlets and disseminations. At shallow depth, copper ore bodies occur locally. Gold is mainly hosted in pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena, as interstitial and fissure fillings, and as inclusions. Sixteen orebodies have been discovered in the Jinqingding deposit; orebody No. II is the largest and contains 96% of the proven reserve.

The Paleoarchean Jingshan Group biotite schist occurs as small enclaves within the Kunyu Mountain granite. The lamprophyre veins and granodiorite porphyry are closely associated with the gold veins. The Jinqingding gold deposit has previously been discovered to have a total of 18 ore bodies, all of which are of the quartz vein type. The No. II ore body accounts for 96% of the confirmed resource reserves. The No. II ore body is distributed in a vein-like manner between exploration lines 0 to 35, controlled overall by the F3 fault, which is part of the regional General Jiangjunshi fault. The F1 fault is located in the middle of ore body, causing localized fracturing and displacement of the ore body. The F2 fault is parallel to the F1 fault but is far from the ore body, exerting no direct impact on the ore body. The ore body exhibits a gentle wave-like pattern along its strike and trend. The thickness of the ore body is generally around 2 m, with gold grades ranging from 2 × 10−6 to 20 × 10−6. The elevation range of the ore body is from 120 m to 1220 m. The No. II ore body is plate-like in shape, with a surface length of 245 m, trending SE (an overall trend of 20°), dipping NE (angle of 85° to 90°), and extending to a depth greater than 1200 m.
The hydrothermal alteration in the Jinqingding gold deposit is relatively strong, and mainly distributed along faults. From the near ore to the far ore, there is a sequential development of pyritized sericite alteration, sericite alteration, and potassic feldspathization, approximately symmetrically distributed around the ore body.

The Jinqingding deposit can be divided into three or four stages): (1) the pre-ore pyrite–quartz stage (subdivisible into two substages), characterized by the limited development of metallic sulfides, where pyrite predominantly occurs as disseminated, veinlet, and massive forms within milky-white quartz; (2) the main-ore quartz–polymetallic sulfide stage, dominated by smoky-gray gangue quartz with ore minerals consisting primarily of pyrite alongside chalcopyrite, marcasite, sphalerite, native gold, and various Te/Bi minerals; (3) the post-ore quartz–calcite stage. With an average grade of 6.44 g/t, the proven gold resource exceeds 32 tons.

Exploration has confirmed more than 35 tonnes of gold at an average grade of ∼ 10 g/t, making Jinqingding the largest deposit in this belt. The rocks exposed in the mining area are mainly the Paleoproterozoic Jingshan Group, including biotite-plagioclase gneiss, amphibolite, marble and Quaternary sediments. These metamorphic rocks are intruded by the Kunyushan granitic suite. Gold grades in stage 3 reaches peaks of 1000 g/t.

ⓘ Pilsenite ?

Formula: Bi₄Te₃

Description: Reports of pilsenite from this locality are possibly the result of a translation error. The mineral is mentioned as occurring here in the English abstract of the paper by Liu et al. (2010), but the respective mineral name in the Chinese abstract is 碲铋矿 (tellurobismuthite), not 叶碲铋矿 (pilsenite). Pilsenite is nowhere mentioned in the Chinese text, and the analytical data given for 碲铋矿 indicate that the name indeed refers to tellurobismuthite and not to pilsenite. The only reason for listing pilsenite as questionable and not as erroneously reported is an erlier report by Liu and Lu (2006), which cannot now be validated because the full text is presently not available to us.
