Cu Mo Porphyry
Estimated reserves of > 500,000 t Cu with grades of 0.2–4.41%, >100,000 t Mo with grades of 0.03–0.70%, and > 53 t Ag.
Potassic, chlorite–sericite, phyllic, and propylitic alteration

0.70 Mt Cu @ 0.23–––0.47 wt%; ＞0.15 Mt Mo @ 0.036–––0.083 wt%
The ore-forming granodiorite porphyry occurs as a stock in the center of the deposit. The orebodies range from 100 to 1000 m in length and 5 to 100 m in thickness, locally reaching 300–400 m. Thin-bedded and veined orebodies dominate the upper part, while thick-bedded and lenticular varieties are concentrated in the central granodiorite porphyry.
