The Fenghuang Mountain area in Wuwei,Anhui Province is located in the southwest of the Dabie orogenic foreland belt and the Han-Chao fold thrust belt,and on the northeastern margin of the Lu-Zong basin,where frequent tectonic and magmatic activities,and intense mineralization alterations result in a large number of iron,copper,lead-zinc(silver)and gold deposits(ore occurrences).The Yueshan Pb-Zn deposit,Huangtun S-Fe-Cu-Au polymetallic deposit and Xiwan Pb-Zn deposit have been discovered successively.After comprehensive analysis of the previous work results in the study area,marble alteration,pyritization,limonization,gold mineralization and copper mineralization were found in the Xiabushan-Fenghuang Mountain area in the eastern part,and sericitization,hornfels and kaolinization alterations,and lead,zinc and silver mineralization in the Dongdawei area,Baihu in the western part,and the geophysical and geochemical anomalies are well coincided with each other,indicating a good potential for searching for lead,zinc,silver and gold polymetallic deposits of skarn type and hydrothermal filling metasomatic type,and for lead,zinc,silver and gold polymetallic deposits of porphyry type in the study area.
