南泥湖-三道桩钼铅锌矿, 南泥湖矿田, 栾川县, 洛阳市, 河南省, 中国

Porphyry and skarn-type molybdenum-(tungsten) and skarn-type lead-zinc deposit. Nannihu is the second largest molybdenum deposit in China and has been mined since the 1970s. In the early 21st century, rich skarn-type lead-zinc ore bodies were discovered in the periphery of the molybdenum ore bodies.
Mo 1,337,100t, WO3 641,794t Mo 0.079 to 0.143%.

The Nannihu–Sandaozhuang Mo-(W) skarn-porphyry deposit is located at the NW contact of the Nannihu granite porphyry with Neoproterozoic banded carbonate rocks of the Sanchuan Formation and Neoproterozoic metasandstone, phyllite, quartzite and a layer of carbonate at the top of the Nannihu Formation. The Nannihu granite porphyry covers an area of about 1.2 km2. A large Mo–W orebody, extends 4 km E–W and 1000–1200 m N–S and has a thickness of 400–700 m, surrounds the Nannihu granite porphyry. The nature of the Mo–W mineralization allows a division into three types: 1) porphyry; 2) skarn: and 3) hornfels. They comprise 9.4%, 9.4% and 81.2% for the Nannihu sector and 0%, 73.8% and 26.2% for the Sandaozhuang sector.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Jurassic : 156 ± 8 Ma to 146 ± 5 Ma

Important 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.
