都茂鉱山, 益田市, 島根県, 日本
Located about 50 km NW of Hiroshima City. A complex skarn-hosted gold-copper-lead-zinc-wolfram deposit.
This mine was already described in litarature in AD836.
In 1959, Maruyama deposit was found.
In 1973, maximum production of copper ore, 600t/day.
In 1979, reduce the operation, and closed in 1986.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Late/Upper Cretaceous : 80.4 Ma to 78.6 ± 3.2 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
