In Early-Middle Devonian, volcanic strata belonged to the Altai epicontiental rift zone. There exists an important type of ore deposit known as the Qiaoxiahala copper-(gold) deposit, whose genesis was not determined in the past. Based on studying its ore-forming environment, the ore-controlling features, the volcanic activity related to mineralization and the metallogenic material sources, the authors hold that the Qiaoxiahala copper-(gold) deposit is a kind of stratabound skarn deposit formed by volcano-exhalative sedimentary activity.
