Abstract
The Dachang cassiterite-sulphide ore deposit is controlled by stratigraphy-lithology, acid magmatic activity, and structure. Correlation between the Dachang deposit and the neighbouring stratabound mineral deposits as well as mineralogical, chemical and isotopic investigations of the Dachang deposit reveal the characteristics of multiple source material, multiple stages of formation and multiple genesis of the deposit. It is postulated that some large-scale cassiterite-sulphide deposits with abundant polymet-als (not including skara deposits) may have a similar ore-forming mechanism.
