Copper Deposits
The periphery of this zone contains quartz and quartz-tourmaline veins with minor chalcopyrite and rare galena. Bayan Khoshuu is characterized by vein-type mineralization in a 0.15-km 2 area (Fig. 2.10). Partially weathered quartz tourmaline veins contain copper oxides and are hosted in granodiorite, diorite porphyry, and granosyenite porphyry.

The universally observed sequence of vein cutting relations in porphyry copper deposits—i.e., high-temperature quartz-chalcopyrite veins with biotite-K-feldspar envelopes cut by moderate-temperature pyrite veins with sericitic alteration, and both of these cut by low-temperature veins containing covellite and enargite
mineralogy
Quartz, a silica mineral, is typically found in association with such gold and silver deposits. Where these gold-laced quartz veins are discovered and accessible, they are mined – first by placement of an adit to determine the quality of the gold-rich vein, and second by expansion of the adit into a tunnel or shaft, to recover the gold ore.
