Eastern Guangdong Province is located in the intersection part of Nanling E-W tectonic-magmatic belt and the southeastern China N-E volcanic belt (Xu et al., 1999). The Xinliaodong is a newly-discovered copper ore deposit in eastern Guangdong Province, the genesis and type of which remains unclear until this moment. Chlorite is one of the main ore associated alteration minerals, which perhaps genetically related to copper mineralization in this ore district. Based on the field geological survey, microscopic observation and electron microprobe analysis, we systematically studied the category, elemental composition, forming temperature, forming environment and the formation mechanism of the chlorites with various occurrences from the Xinliaodong Cu polymetallic deposit. This paper tries to conduct preliminary studies on the relationship between chlorite and mineralization.
