Strata

The strata are metamorphic limestone, pebbled limestone, conglomerate, breccia, argillaceous SLATE, sericite-quartz SLATE, quartz sandstone and calcareous sandstone of Amushan formation of Upper Carboniferous. The ore-bearing geological body is the subvolcanic rock intruding into the stratum.

The host lithology is metamorphic feldspar sandstone, crystalline limestone and phyllite of the Upper Carboniferous Benbatu Formation.

Fracture structure

The intersection of two groups of secondary faults near SN direction and NEE direction is the most intense mineralization site.

Controlled by NEE trending fracture.

Magmatic rocks

The ore-bearing geological bodies occur in the subvolcanic rocks, and the lithology is cataclastic subdacite. The subvolcanic rock mass is situated in the upper Carboniferous Amushan Formation

in EW direction.

In the surrounding rock far away from the orebody (the surface is 460 m south of the orebody), there are volcanic clastic rocks of the Benbatu Formation, whose lithology is rhyolitic lithic and dacitic lithic clastic tuff.

Ore source

Stratigraphy of Amushan Formation and volcanic hydrothermal fluid.

It is mainly from Benbatu Formation, and partly from volcanic hydrothermal fluid.

Main ore-controlling factors

Structural and intrusive subvolcanic rocks (cataclastic subdacite) in the amushan formation.

Structure and stratigraphy of Benbatu Formation.

The mineralization of surrounding rock

The surrounding rock of the top and floor of the gold mineralized bed is limestone of Amushan Formation and pebbled calcareous sandstone.

The surrounding rocks are metamorphic feldspar sandstone, crystalline limestone and phyllite of the Bemba Tu Formation, while the surrounding rocks in the distance (the surface is 460 m south of the orebody) are rhyolitic lithic crystal tuff and dacitic lithic crystal tuff.
