金顶锌铅银矿, 兰坪白族普米族自治县, 怒江傈僳族自治州, 云南省, 中国

Cenozoic stratabound Zn-Pb-Ag deposit, possibly of sedimentary-exhalative (SEDEX) type, hosted by Tertiary sandstones within a tectonically active basin.

The deposit was discovered in 1960 and is the largest Zn-Pb deposit in China. Reserves amount to 200 million tons of ore, grading at 6.08% Zn and 1.29% Pb, of which about 40% are contained in a thick well-developed oxidation zone.
