LINK3>The Lawu copper-lead-zinc deposit in Dangxiong, Tibet, is hosted in the Upper Carboniferous-Lower Permian Laigu Group in the southern part of the Namucuo-Jiali fault belt. The ore bodies are controlled by the Riyinna anticline and faults of different directions. The mineralization in the deposit can be divided into two types, the early layered and laminated and the later veined ores. The derivation of the ore-forming materials and the genesis of the deposit are discussed by studying on the geological characteristics of the deposit, the stable isotope and REE of the ores and their host rocks. The study shows that the Lawu copper-lead-zinc deposit belongs to a sedimentary exhalative Cu-Pb-Zn deposit superimposed by the Yanshanian magmanic hydrothermal activity.
