A zinc mine. Zebra rock.
The Limei and Danaopo Pb-Zn deposits are epigenetic type and controlled by the faults and reefal mounds. The ores occur primarily as open-space filling of voids, breccia cement, and replacement of the host limestone. These ores are layered/laminated dominated and low- to medium-grade (∼4 wt%), with multiple generations of sulfides, carbonates, barite, and minor fluorite.
