Characteristics and Genesis of the Horsetail-like Copper Ore in Dongchuan Copper Deposit, Yunnan

Dongchuan copper deposit is located in the Kangdian tectonic belt, southwest margin of the Yangtze plate. Dongchuan type copper body is developed in the dolomite of Luoxue Formation, and its typical ore is horsetail-like copper ore. In this paper, we summarized the macro- and microscopic characteristics of horsetail-like copper ore, evaluating the main element characteristics of copper ore and dolomite by ICP-MS and EMPA methods. Combined with the sulfur isotope values, we discuss the origin of the horsetail-like copper ore. The results show that the horsetail-like copper ore consists of bedding .ne veins and high-angle ore-bearing veins, which are basically the same in structure, tectonic, mineral composition and Ca/Mg ratio. The two veins exhibit obvious metasomatic structure. The ore-hosting rocks are interbedded with sandy layer and argillaceous layer, and the bedding .ne veins are mainly distributed in the sandy layer. The SiO₂ content of the horsetail-like copper ore is obviously higher than that of the weak mineralized dolomite, indicating that the bedding fine veins are developed in the quartz sandy dolomite with better permeability. The ore-bearing brine migrated to the dolomite of the Luoxue Formation along the fault structure and metasomatized to the sandy dolomite and stromatolite dolomite with high porosity on both sides, forming the Dongchuan type strati.ed copper body characterized by horsetail-like copper ore, which belongs to the brine metasomatism genesis of the basin.
