| Comments | Hanzheganeng occurrence Initial exploration, including limited drilling, indicates grades of 0.14.5% Cu, however Liu, Yang and others (2010) believe Hanzheganeng is an epithermal deposit. Sr and Nd isotopes suggest island arc setting for the Hanzheganeng occurrence. Liu, Yang and others (2010) indicate that Sawuer is a region and that three deposits are included in this region (Hanzheganeng, Taketakuolasi, Xiyakesitao). The Sawuer region has many syngenetic and epigenetic metallic ore deposits, including porphyry Cu, epithermal and orogenic Au. |
