Low sulphidation epithermal gold deposit, hosted within a tilted succession of auto-brecciated andesitic lava flows and fragmental andesitic tuffs and breccias of the Lower Carboniferous Dahalajunshan Formation. The host rocks are unconformably overlain by conglomerate and coarse clastic sedimentary rocks of the late Early to Middle Carboniferous Aqialehe Group. The deposit consists of a northern and a southern orebody, that are located within a steep, east-dipping, curvilinear fault. The northern orebody is 480 m long, up to 20 m wide and extends for at least 450 m downdip. The southern orebody is located 750 m further south and 110 m lower than the northern orebody; it is only around 4 m wide, but is encompassed by a much wider zone of alteration and brecciation. The auriferous quartz of the northern orebody is dominantly chalcedonic and cryptocrystalline, druzy, sinter-like, and locally banded. The southern orebody is more diffuse, with extensive silicification and stockworking, and brecciation is also much more extensive. The dominant alteration in close proximity to the ore is strong silicification, with peripheral phyllic (sericite-pyrite) alteration passing outwards into widespread chlorite and carbonate alteration. Hydrothermal alteration includes silicification, phyllic, propylitic, adularia, laumontite, illite and kaolinite alterations.
Note: Not to be confused withe the Axi gold deposit of Sichuan Province.
