Hydrothermal lead-zinc deposit, hosted in limestone, sandstone, and shale of the Devonian Wuzhishan formation that are locally intruded by granites and some lamprophyre dykes. The deposit straddles the border between Gongcheng and Yangshuo counties and is jointly worked by the Daoping and Yangshuo mines, which are connected underground.
Notes on the mineral list:
- plumbogummite has been set to 'unconfirmed' because according to Ottens (2014) all the plumbogummite specimens labelled and sold as coming from the Daoping and/or Yangshuo Mines, in fact, originate from the Laohuan Mine. See also the messageboard at: https://www.mindat.org/mesg-359222.html
- as the Yangshuo and the Daoping Mine are connected underground since the year 2003, and the Chinese see it (at least since this point in time) as one location, it is unnecessary to discuss if e.g. a Pyromorphite is from Daoping or from Yangshuo. Maybe all findings from 2003 onwards should be labelled as coming from Daoping - Yangshuo Combined Mines.
