Abstract: The Hutouya orefield is one of the important poly-metallic deposits in the Qimantage area of Qinghai province in recent years. However, as the mineralization of the copper-lead-zinc poly-metallic deposit is very complex, and the study of ore-controlling factors is not systematic at present, the metallogenic model is not clear and the geochemical exploration work runs into bottleneck. Based on recent research results, the author's field and indoor synthetic analysis, this paper summarized ore formation, ore-controlling tectonics, lithofacies distribution and intrusion characteristics. The article preliminarily established the spatial relationships of mineralization and ore-controlling factors in the Hutouya orefield, and put forward ore-prospecting indicators. All these conclusions will have important theoretical and practical significance for studying the deposit characteristics, properties, metallogenic relationship, tectonic background and further ore exploration.
