Abstract
The Yindonggou Ag-Au-Pb deposit, located in the Erlangping Group of Palaeozoic age in the East Qinling orogen, south-western Henan, is a recently discovered, large structural alteration-type deposit. Its main veins are ca. two thousands meters long and extend to several hundreds meters at depth. It has an average grade of 333 g/t silver and contains multiple paragenetic metallic minerals. It may be the economically most potential deposit type in the area. In this paper we briefly describe the geological characteristics, ore-controlling factors, and propose a mineralization model.
