The Cu–S–Fe–Au deposit at Xinqiao is located in the Tongling mineral district, Anhui Province, People's Republic of China. It is a large-scale polymetallic deposit with drilling indicated reserves of 0.5 million tonnes of Cu averaging 0.71 % , 75.5 million tonnes of S averaging 29.3 % and 24.9 million tonnes of Fe averaging 46 % , as well as 11.2 tonnes of Au averaging at 4.7 g/tonne plus 248.4 tonnes of Ag averaging at 248.4 g/tonne. There are two major mineralization types in the Xinqiao deposit: one is the economically significant stratiform orebody hosted in the Lower Carboniferous Gaolishan siltstone (C1g) and overlying Middle Carboniferous Huanglong limestone (C2h), while the other is the less important skarn-type mineralization restricted to the contact between the Yanshanian diorite (110–168 Ma) and the Lower Permian Qixia marble (P1q). The ore in the Xinqiao deposit is dominated by massive pyrite with minor amount of chalcopyrite, magnetite, pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite, quartz and dolomite.
