China’s sulphide deposits — their occurrence and treatment

  • Chapter
Sulphide deposits—their origin and processing

Abstract

IN CHINA SULPHIDE DEPOSITS ARE THE major source of lead, zinc, copper, nickel, molybdenum, antimony, mercury and sulphur. Nearly 40% of the production of gold, almost all of that of silver and virtually all of that of the platinum group metals come from sulphide deposits. Lead, zinc and copper sulphide deposits are widely distributed throughout China in, geologically, a great variety of occurrences. In contrast, antimony and mercury sulphide deposits are found in the provinces of Hunan, Guizhou and Guangdong.
