Abstract:The Jinding leadzinc deposit, as Asia’s largest PbZn deposit, is a result of superposition of three stages of mineralization. Stage 1, the Triassic Sanhedong Formation is located above the Lower Triassic bimodel volcanic assemblage, marine faciesSEDEX type, (MSEDEX) sphaleritegalena±celestine±siderite deposit assemblage, and distributed in the west side of the Lanping basin. Stage2, the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene continental lacustrinefacies basinSEDEX type, (CSEDEX) ore deposit, is the Late Cretaceous and Paleocene period (~110Ma, ~65Ma), within “the high mountaindeep basin” formed by stress transformation from compressional to transpressional, resulted in the deep faultdepression lacustrine basin, along the side near the Bijiang Fault, the syngenetic fault, there occur formations of massive sulfides in Continentalfacies red sandstone basin, limestone breccia with varying accumulating in the foothills, getting smaller in size and reducing westward, getting into normal lacustrine red sandstone deposition; And in the lacustrine basin, sulfide deposition with zonation by temperaturecontrolling: at the northeast side of the basin, from Jiayashan to Beichang, mainly occur the finegrained sphalerites, while the southwest side, at the NanchangBeicaoping area, mainly occur finegrained galena. Stage 3, Neogene epithermal mineralization. Experiencing the thrusting and escaping at the eastern Tibet Plateau, the Mesozoic strata of the east Lanping basin were thrust from the east side to the west, the nappes even covering over the basin, forming the Jinding dome, sealing the previous leadzinc depositions in continentalfacies basin; meanwhile, elevating MSEDEX leadzinc deposit + celestine sequences within the Triassic Sanhedong Formation limestones westward over the dome, at the Paomaping area; by transformation of the stress form compression to transpressionextension during Pliocene, the stretching basin is formed and deep hydrothermal upwelling (in the WeixiTongdian Faul at the east side of the basin, the extension of the basin even producing the volumable trachytic volcanic rocks plus alkaline basaltic volcanic rocks), leading to the deep hydrothermal fluids fill along the Bijiang Fault and the subfaults or fractures transported into the dome with ample mineral, the orebearing hot brines replaced the limestone breccia with sulfate forming of gypsumsulfide breccia shell around the limestone breccia; at the same time, activated lead and zinc components and migrated to the thrust nappe with high porosity, the Jingxing Formation sandstone (K1j), formed the epithermal type (Epithermal type) of sandstonehosted leadzinc deposits. As a result, within the limited space of the Jinding dome presents the splendid scene of “three generations in the same room”. However, each generation of leadzinc (±sulfates) mineralization with different sulfur isotope characteristics: the Triassic Sanhedong stage MSEDEX leadzincselestine, has δ34S value in +10‰~+21‰, showing the characteristics of sulfur mainly from seawater sulfate; Late Cretaceous to Paleocene CSEDEX type finegrained leadzinc deposit (containing limestone breccia) has δ34S value -51‰ ~ 0‰, with a large range, involved in the characteristics of obwious biological effects; and Neogene sandstonehosted type leadzinc deposit, has δ34S value in -2‰~+5 ‰, showing the sulfur isotopic characteristics of deep source. It is the special tectonic evolution process, multistage mineralization superimposed and concentrated in a limited space that resulted in the formation of the Asia’s largest PbZn deposit.
