Lame (Lamo, Dachang ore field)

Dachang ore field, Nandan County, Hechi, Guangxi, China

SkarnsZn-Cu (Sn)

Type
Upper Devonian sulfide mineralisation at the contact of the Longxianggai granite

Dachang field deposit in the Upper Devonian (Wuzhishan Formation), where the small Longxianggai biotite granite crops out (0.19 km² at surface, 21 km² at depth). The narrow sulfide δ34S range, close to that of the granite, points to homogeneous magmatic sulfur (Fan et al., 2004). Coordinates of the Dachang ore field, to within a few kilometres. Indicative coordinates.
