SumatraIsland owns the numerousmineral commodity (precious metal as gold and silver, base metal as copper, lead,zinc,tin, etc), and various deposit types(e.g., skarn type copper deposit, epithermal type lead-zinc deposit) (Crow and VanLeeuwen, 2005). There are also the experiences of multi-period and phase tectonic magmatic activities and different era volcanic-intrusive rocks with poly-natures spreading the whole island (VanLeeuwen, 1994). Therefore, on the basis of the lithogeochemical research, concluding the tectonic attribution for the rock related to the mineralization, has the significance for not only deepening the theoretical research of petrogenesismineralization , but also the prospectingespecially the same type deposit. This article provided the petrological and lithogeochemical contrast research between the diorite porphyry in the Sulit skarn-type copper deposit and adjacentdistrict in the central part of SumatraIsland, explored the tectonic setting of rock-forming and mineralization in the combination with previous data.
