There are numerous copper deposits in the Lixi district of the Sichuan province, SW China, and these copper deposits are divided into two groups as iron oxide coppergold deposits (IOCG) (Zhu and Sun, 2013) and sedimenthosted stratiform copper deposits (SSC). The former includes the Lala deposit and Hongnipo deposit, the latter includes the Heiqing deposit and Xinqiaolaopengwan deposit. The Lixi district lies tectonically on the western margin of the Yangtze Block. The strata occurring in the Lixi district include the Paleoproterozoic Hekou Group and the Mesoproterozoic Dongchuan Group.
