Hongtoushan Mine, Qingyuan Co., Fushun Prefecture, Liaoning Province (Manchuria; Dongbei Region), China
Latitude: 41°59'50"N
Longitude: 124°30'55"E
Longitude: 124°30'55"E
Medium-scale volcanogenic Zn-Pb-Cu massive sulfide (VHMS) deposit, consisting of chimneys, veins, and stratiform ore bodies in the lower and middle parts of the Hongtoushan Formation of the Archean Anshan Group. The Hongtoushan Formation consists of biotite-plagioclase-gneiss and amphibole-plagioclase gneiss with intercalations of felsic gneiss and magnetite quartzite. Ore minerals are mainly pyrite (50%), pyrrhotite (20%-30%), chalcopyrite (1%-10%), sphalerite (1%-15%), and minor galena, cubanite, and chalcocite. The ore minerals occur in masses, breccia, bands, and disseminations.
