Abstract The Xiongcun ore district is a large copper-gold ore district in the Gangdise porphyry copper metallogenic belt of Tibet. The No. Ⅰ copper-gold orebody is the earliest discovered orebody in the Xiongcun ore district, followed by the discovery of No. Ⅱ and No. Ⅲ copper-gold orebodies. Geochemical anomalies played a key role in the discovery and preliminary exploration of No. Ⅱ and No. Ⅲ orebodies, and gave important clues to finding the copper-gold exploration area. This paper deals with the characteristics and roles of geochemical anomalies in the exploration of No.Ⅱ and No. Ⅲ orebodies for the purpose of providing references for future prospecting. The summarization of the geochemical prospecting criteria for these deposits is very important in search for the same type of deposits in the Gangdise porphyry copper belt.
