Abstract:The Kaladaban Pb─Zn─Cu volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit (VMS), located within the Altyn region of Xinjiang in NW China, is an economically significant deposit with known reserves of 414,400 t Zn with a grade of 4.14%, 265,200 t Pb with a grade of 2.52%, and 149,200 t Cu with a grade of 1.10%. The mineralization is hosted in basalt, rhyolite, and rhyolite porphyry, with the latter two rock types yielding zircon U─Pb ages of 516 and 505 Ma, respectively, representing the timing of crystallization.
