Latitude: 24°31'37"N
Longitude: 113°42'49"E
大宝山多金属矿, 曲江区, 韶关市, 广东省, 中国

Polymetallic deposit (Mo-W, Cu-Pb-Zn, Fe) with porphyry, stratabound, vein-type, skarn and greisen-style mineralization, hosted in Devonian and Carboniferous sedimentary rocks that are intruded by the Dabaoshan granodiorite porphyry stock and dykes of various lithologies (dacite porphyry, granodiorite porphyry, diabase, lamprophyre, quartz diorite, dolerite).

The deposit is mined for iron and copper (ore reserves: 75 million tonnes).
