Studies of emplacement depth and denudation extent of rock mass should be instructive to ore prospecting. The authors studied the emplacement depth and denudation extent of the main porphyry bodies in the middle parts of Nanjing-Zhenjiaug Mountains with help of ' cover layer' thickness restoration method of the rock mass, temperature and pressure methods of diagenesis, discriminance of alteration and mineralization zoning, xenoliths, texture and structure results. The study results showed that denudation extent in the middle parts of Nanjing-Zhenjiang Mountains increased gradually from west to east and decreased from north to south.
