Discovery and Mineralogical Characteristics of Argyrodite in the Yueyang Silver Polymetallic Deposit,Wuping County
This paper conducts a detailed mineralogy study on the rare argyrodite mineral discovered in the Yueyang silver polymetallic deposit in Wuping,Fujian Province,explores its occurrence state and mineral association features,and analyzes its significance to deep prospecting.The chemical formula of Yueyang argyrodite is Ag7.61Ge079S6,which was analyzed by the electronic probe microanalyzer to analyze the chemical composition of the mineral composition,which is close to the ideal chemical formula and has the characteristic of being poor in germanium,rich in copper,zinc,and gold.According to the mineral composition of argyrodite and Ag/Au ratio,there is a superposition of low and medium sulfide,which has undergone multi-stage mineralization,and indicates that it has the potential to develop porphyry mineralization in depth.
