Abstract: The Hongniu Copper Mine is located in the eastern margin of the Dege-Zhonglian block on the west side of the Ganzi-Litang junction，the copper-lead-zinc-gold-silver metallogenic belt in the southermsegment of the Yidun-Zhongdlian Island arc belt in the Indosinian period，and the central part of the“Sanjiang”metallogenic belt. The main ore-bearing strala are localed in the upper 'Triassic Qugasi For-mation and fault fracture zone. Skarnized hornstone and skarn are important ore-bearing rocks，and faultsare mainly ore-bearing structures. By analyzing the geological characteristics of the surrounding ore bodiesof the Hongniu Copper Mine,the genetic type of the deposit was analyzed ,and the prospecting prospects were discussed in terms of the ore-forming gcological environment，magmatic rock distribution range，geo-physical and geochemical prospecting anomalies，and existing prospecting results. lt is believed that theprospecting prospect in this area is good，and the prospecting space is huge.

Key words: ore-body characteristics, ore-deposit genetic type, analysis of prospecting prospect, periph-ery of Hongniu Copper Mine
