Porphyry, skarn and stratabound copper-molybdenum deposit.
Located about 20 km SW of Daye.
The Tongshankou deposit is a porphyry-/skarn-type Cu–Mo deposit, and is spatially associated with granodiorite porphyry stock. The deposit has an ore reserve of 52.1 Mt Cu @ 0.96%, 4.36 Mt Mo @ 0.103%, and 1200 t WO3 @ 0.185%. The orebodies are hosted in both the granodiorite and its intrusive contact with the Daye Fm. carbonates.

The Tongshankou is a large skarn-porphyry Cu-Mo-W deposit (0.55 Mt Cu @ 0.86%, 0.01 Mt Mo @ 0.10%, and 0.12 Mt WO3 @ 0.19%) in the Edong district. The Tongshankou granodiorite porphyry and quartz diorite porphyry intruded the Daye Fm. limestone/dolomite and formed six Cu-Mo-W skarn orebodies and a few porphyry Cu-Mo orebodies. The skarn orebodies are mainly hosted in the exoskarn in the carbonates (e.g., No. I and IV orebodies). The porphyry orebodies are small and hosted in the granodiorite porphyry.
The skarn-type alteration/mineralization is divided into five stages in previous studies, i.e., prograde skarn, retrograde alteration, Fe oxide mineralization, Cu-Mo sulfide mineralization, and late veining. Five alteration zones were identified, i.e., (from the granodiorite porphyry to the carbonate wallrocks): (I) Potassic-silicic alteration zone: K-feldspar, biotite, quartz, illite, muscovite and montmorillonite, and minor chlorite; (II) Phyllic-potassic-silicic alteration zone: illite, chlorite, quartz, epidote, K-feldspar, biotite, muscovite and montmorillonite, and minor gypsum; (III) Intensive skarn alteration zone: massive garnet, wollastonite, saponite, chlorite, montmorillonite and illite, together with minor uralite and phlogopite; (IV) Weak skarn alteration zone: vein type garnet, uralite, chlorite, epidote, montmorillonite and illite, and minor serpentine; (V) Weak chlorite alteration zone: disseminated chlorite, epidote, montmorillonite and illite.

Note: "Tongchankou" is a misnomer.
