黄家湾镍钼铂族元素矿, 遵义镍钼铂族元素金矿田, 遵义县, 遵义市, 贵州省, 中国

Sulphide-bearing black shales of the Early Cambrian Niutitang formation, underlain by Late Proterozoic dolomite of the Doushantuo formation. The shales above the contact contain millimeter-sized pebbles and disseminations of polymetallic sulphides.
The ore bed is approximately 20 cm thick and occurs 3–5 m above the base of the Niutitang Formation. Its contact with the underlying black shale is sharp, whereas large, scattered sulphide clasts occur between the ore bed and the overlying black shale. The ore bed is mainly composed of a variety of clasts - ranging from a few mm up to 1 cm in size - that constitute 70 to 85 vol% of the rock and testify of (short distance) transport of some of the mineralised material to a deeper environment.
