    Abstract:

    In the survey area of Zheping prospecting area, Hubei Province, lithium- associated antimony ores with a certain scale has been discovered in fracture zones. Lithium is mainly filled between quartz particles in fault fracture zone in the form of cookeite, which belongs to the origin of low temperature hydrothermal filling. The mineralization of lithium and antimony is controlled by the fracture zone, and there is a general positive correlation between the contents of Li and Sb, and the metallogenic materials may originated from the Mufushan granite on the south side. This discovery not only enriches the types of lithium deposits in China, but also open a new window for prospecting of Sb- Li deposits, and provides a new entry point for the exploration of new types of lithium deposits in China. In the future, we should not only pay attention to the comprehensive evaluation of the possibility of lithium and other rare metal mineralization in antimony mineralization area, but also pay attention to the general survey and exploration of hydrothermal rare metal mineralization zone controlled by fracture zone in the deep and adjacent area by the Fangshan antimony deposit or the Zheping antimony mine. At the same time, attention should be paid to the vertical and lateral zoning of mineralization. It is not ruled out that there is hidden granitic pegmatite lithium deposit in the deep part, nor does it rule out the possibility that the hydrothermal antimony deposit in Zheping and the pegmatite- type rare metal deposits in Duanfengshan belong to the same metallogenic series related to Yanshanian granite, for the Zheping Sb- Li deposit itself is located only 12km from the Duanfengshan Li deposit, both of them located in the periphery of the Mufushan concentration area of rare metal deposits, with the Mufushan granite contribution ore- forming metals and creating conditions for the formation of various types of lithium deposits.
