Abstract
Cassiterite-sulphide deposits represent one of the most important types of primary tin deposit in China. The granites related to tin deposits of this type are mainly of late Yenshanian age. A number of characteristics of these granites indicate that they belong to typical continental crustal (S) type. These deposits are located in fault depressions, and the ore-bodies have many features of stratabound hydrothermal superimposition. Magmatic activities not only provided ore-forming materials, but also served as the necessary thermal source in the formation of the ore deposits. The ore-forming materials came partially from the crust, and partially from the upper mantle. These deposits are characterized by dual features, i.e., they are related to both granites and stratabound hydrothermal epigenetic deposition in fault depressions.
