Longitude: 119°51'10"E
肖家营子铜钼铁矿床, 建平县, 朝阳市, 辽宁省, 中国

Copper-molybdenum-iron skarn, consisting of veins, pods and pockets along a contact zone between the Xiaojiayingzi intermediate-mafic intrusive and a dolomite layer of the Neoproterozoic Wumishan formation. The Xiaojiayingzi intrusive is a multistage composite igneous body, consisting of medium-grained diorite, gabbro and diabase formed in a first stage (K-Ar isotopic age of 177 Ma), and fine-grained prophyritic diorite formed in a second stage (K-Ar isotopic age of 113 Ma).

NOTE:
Most of the tellurides and sulfosalts reported from this locality only occur as microscopic inclusions in other ore minerals.
