山门(四平)银(金)矿, 梨树县, 四平市, 吉林省, 中国

Polymetallic Ag-(Au-Pb-Zn-Cu-Ba) volcanic-hosted metasomatite, consisting of veins, lenses and stockworks. The main part of the deposit is 1800 m long. The deposit minerals occur in masses, veinlets and disseminations. The host rocks are Cambrian and Ordovician intermediate siliceous volcanic rocks, sedimentary clastic and carbonate rocks, that are intruded by Jurassic and Cretaceous granitoids. The deposit is controlled by north- to northeast-trending faults and fracture zones.
