Mineralization-alteration and genesis of Lejiawan antimony deposit

Abstract

Lejiawan antimony deposit is a typical deposit in the antimony mineralization zone in northern Guang Dong Province. Zoning of mineralization and alteration in Lejiawan antimony deposit is very distinct, from orebody to country rock there are antimony mineralization-belt, silification-belt and pyritization-belt, respectively. Based on the investigations and analyses of the ore-forming process, isotopic data and fluid inclusion data, the authors suggest that the genesis of Lejiawan antimony deposit belongs to stratabound epithermal transformation deposit.
