Alunite is one of the most important minerals in advanced argillic alteration zone in high sulfidation deposit. Studies on mineralogy, stable isotope and fluid inclusions of alunite are not suitable for field exploration and tracing fluid pathways because of restricted data and long analytical time. In this work, SWIR core scanning for alunite in Zijinshan Cu-Au deposit has been conducted, in order to investigate the distribution of alunite with various compositions and trace the fluid pathways.
