Jinding Zn-Pb-Ag deposit, Lanping Co., Nujiang Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China

Cenozoic stratabound Zn-Pb-Ag deposit, probably of sedimentary-exhalative (SEDEX) type, hosted by tertiary sandstones within a tectonically active basin.
The deposit was discovered in 1960 and is the largest stratabound Zn-Pb-Ag deposit in China.
