“…By analyzing sphalerites from ore deposits, Mason et al (2005), Wilkinson et al (2005), Kelley et al (2009), Gagnevin et al (2012 and Zhou et al (2014) observed Zn isotope variations of about 1.5 ‰. These studies indicate that early precipitated sphalerites have higher 64 Zn-values than late precipitates.…”

Dating of lead-zinc deposits is of critical importance for better understanding of ore genesis, but has long been a big challenge due to the lack of suitable minerals that can be unequivocally linked to the ore genesis and that can be used for tradition radiometric methods. This kind of deposits have simple mineralogy dominated by galena and sphalerite commonly associated with calcite and other gangue minerals. Both galena and sphalerite have low and high variable Re concentrations and thus Re-Os dating of these minerals have been less promising. In addition, the recovery of Re is extremely low for galena when conventional method was applied, lending additional difficulty in precisely dating galena. In this study, we investigate the recovery of Re using different media for anion exchange separation and reporte a revised preparation method for Re-Os dating of galena and sphalerite. By using the new protocol, two reliable Re-Os isochron ages of galena and sphalerite from the Fule (20.4±3.2 Ma) and Laochang (308±25 Ma) Pb-Zn deposits in Yunnan Province, SW China, are achieved.

“…For example, Chen (1986) considered that the elements were sourced from the carbonate host rocks, whereas Zhou et al (2001) thought that the elements were derived from the Precambrian igneous rocks. Recently, Zhou et al (2013aZhou et al ( , 2014aZhou et al ( , 2015 suggested that the Paleozoic ore-hosting carbonate rocks, Proterozoic basement rocks and Permian Emeishan flood basalts together provide the ore-forming elements for these deposits in the SYG province. On the other hand, although the most of these Pb-Zn deposits in the SYG province are clearly epigenetic, different opinions have been proposed on the ore genesis of them.…”

“…Recently, studies of Cd, Ge and Zn isotopes Zhou et al, 2014a,b;Meng et al, 2015), and in situ trace elements of sphalerite (Ye et al, 2011) have indicated that the ore genesis of these Pb-Zn deposits in the SYG province is Zhou et al, 2013a). (C) Geological detailed map of the Tianqiao to Banbanqiao Pb-Zn ore fields (after Zhou et al, 2014a). complex and cannot easily determined. Therefore, need more case studies to help us understanding the giant Pb-Zn mineralization in the SYG province.…”
