Dahutang tungsten deposit is located in the northern part of the Jiuling composite batholith and has a total reserve of ∼2.0 million tons of WO3, representing one of the largest known tungsten deposits; the major ore types are disseminated veinlets, large wolframite-bearing quartz veins, and hydrothermal breccias. The tungsten mineralization in the deposit occurs close to the intrusive contacts of the Jurassic granitoids (i.e., the Dahutang granitoids). The Dahutang granitoids are adjacent to the two sets of studied Jurassic granitoids but have no direct visible contact with them. The Dahutang granitoids have similar mineral assemblages as the set-2 GF and GYZ granitoids and are composed of two-mica and muscovite granites, which formed at 151–142 Ma.
The Dahutang ore field in northern Jiangxi Province represents one of the largest tungsten districts within the Jiangnan Orogen Belt (JOB), with estimated reserves of approximately 1.89 Mt WO3 at an average grade of 0.18 %, accompanied by significant Cu and Mo mineralization. The Dahutang ore field, situated in the eastern segment of the JOB, is longitudinally subdivided into three sectors: the Northern Sector, represented by the Shimensi deposit; the Central Sector, which encompasses the Pingmiao, No. 1 Ore Zone, Dalingshang, and Dongdouya deposits; and the Southern Sector, represented by the Shiweidong deposit. Mineralization in the area is predominantly characterized by veinlet-disseminated wolframite (and scheelite), accompanied by quartz vein-type, cryptoexplosive breccia-type, altered granite-type, and greisen-type W-Cu-Mo mineralization. Ore bodies occur mainly in the inner and outer contact zones between Yanshanian granites and Jinningian biotite granodiorite, with a preference for the outer contact zones, collectively forming a “multi-position, unified” W–Cu–Mo polymetallic deposit system. The dominant mineralization styles vary among deposits; regionally, the most representative types include the veinlet-disseminated and cryptoexplosive breccia types at Shimensi and the quartz vein-type at Shiweidong. It is noteworthy that significant Sn ore bodies have so far been identified only within the Dongdouya deposit.
