Caobulen (Chaobuleng) Pb-Zn deposit, East Ujimqin Banner, Xilin Gol (Xilinguole) League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China

StandardDetailedBy ChemistryMineral Photos (1)MapsSearch Google

Medium-sized Zn-Pb-(Ag-Cu-W) skarn, located in the contact zone between Mesozoic granite and Devonian limestone. The orebodies are lenticular and lentoid in shape and vary in scale. Alteration is mainly skarnization. Sn, Bi, Ag and Au in ores are recoverable.
