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 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.
