Abstract: By analysing the situation of copper mine resource home and abroad as well as supply and demand of market, the paper considers that carrying on the research on exploring the Xuequan copper (zinc) depositis is of an important significance to searching and researching Cyprus-type Cu-rich massive sulfide deposits in North Qilian Mts. and ever in China. We have found out more than 2 hundred ophiolite belts,but there are Cyprus copper deposits only in 50 ophiolite belts. Thus, the research on Xuequan copper(zinc) deposit has important operation and academically significance.
