Abstract: The Lushan copper deposit occurred in the dark gray or black silty mudstone at the bottom of the Xuan-wei Formation (P3 x),and the volcano breccia hematite bed at the top of the third section of Emeishan basalt (βP3 ).These ore-host strata with a new ore type were recognized as new copper mineralized horizons in Guizhou Province.The element zoning sequence in the ore-bearing rock from top to bottom is Ti -Cu -Fe,which is in ac-cordance with the characteristics of the weathering and leaching copper deposit from basalt.The geological charac-teristics of the Lushan copper deposit was summarized by a detailed study,which provided some new ideas for the exploration of the same type copper deposit.
