Antimony smelters south-west of the Dushan County antimony district (Guizhou): an old one, opened in 1973 and active for over 40 years, and a new one since 2015; prevailing south-easterly winds. Smelter materials at δ123Sb of +0.29 to +0.38 ‰ (mean +0.33 ± 0.08 ‰), soils with a geogenic value of +0.61 ‰ (Liao et al., 2023). Attached to the Banpo deposit, the main occurrence of the district, by proximity. Coordinates not published. Harvests supplied by local farmers, clearly lighter than the soils.
