The Pb-Zn Deposits and Mineralization during Cambrian in Chongqing Area of Yangtze Platform, China

Abstract:

This paper presented the Pb-Zn deposits characteristics in southeast Chongqing. The Pb-Zn deposits occurred in Lower-Middle strata with develop the dolomites, limestones as ore-bearing host-rocks. They are veined, stratifed, stratoid, and lenticular in shape and locally pinch and swell with dominant ore minerals of sphalerite, galena, and pyrite . the Pb-Zn ore deposits grade changed from 0.32% to 7.06% for Pb and 4.21% to 14.29% for Zn. The Gaodongzi orebody has highest concentrations of Pb with 7.06% record and Zn with 14.29% record. The tectonic setting, ore-host rocks, wall-rock alternation, and mineral composition will control the Pb-Zn deposits distribution in Chongqing area.
