Analysis of the deep ore prospecting potential in Shizitou molybdenum area

The Shizitou molybdenum area is located in the southeastern part of Yongpin Copper Mine in Yan - shan county Jiangxi province. The reconnaissance survey has been completed in the molybdenum area. The de - tailed exploration is under way during which period three deep holes have been drilled with the depth of 800- 850 meters. Through the investigation of the deposit situation in the three deep holes, significant breakthrough has been made in the deep ore prospecting work for that in the explored areas ( minus 500 meters elevation), the deposit thickness is of 160.46 m / hole with average grade of 0.078 3 %. It is suggested that the further prospecting work should be gradually carried out along the strike and dip direction in the center part of mining area (16 lines ) which has been explored.
