Geocronite is a rare sulfosalt mineral throughout the world and it has great significance to study on regional geological tectonic setting and mineralization.The geocronite that was discovered in Hutouya ore district is the first and unique one in Qinghai province.Based on geocronite feature study,two main conclusions were obtained.(1) The discovery of geocronite indicates that mesoproterozoic Era tectonic setting belongs to passive continental margin in Qimantage area;(2) The fact that mineralization happened in Mesoproterozoic Era is confirmed and it is recognized that Hutouya large-scale deposit is related to advance enrichment of Mesoproterozoic Era mineralization substance.
