Metallogenetic geological characteristics and prospecting direction of Chenfang copper-polymetallic ore deposit in the northern Wuyishan mountain area

The Wuyishan mountain metallogenetic belt is one of the important metallogenetic belts in China,where are distributed amounts of copper,lead,zinc and silver polymetallic deposits of multiple type.Based on analysing metallogenetic geological characteristics of the Chenfang copper-polymetallic deposit,this paper systematically studies the distribution features of skarn-type copper,lead and zinc polymetallic orebodies controlled by contact zones in the Carboniferous strata and by interformational fracture zones in the Permian strata in the Chenfang area,and also discusses the ore-controlling factors and geneses of deposits.The result of the study indicates the great metallogenetic potentials of the Chenfang mineralizing area,therefore the ore-prospecting direction of the area in the next stage is suggested.
