The Qimantagh metallogenic belt (QMB) is a significant Fe-Pb-Zn-Cu (-Ag) mineral belt that extends for 550 km in the East Kunlun Mountains, on the northern Tibetan Plateau. Skarn deposits in the QMB can be subdivided into several main types based on the dominant metal. Typical Cu (Mo) skarn deposits are found in Kaerqueka, Wulanwuzhuer, and Yazigou; Fe skarn deposits occur in Yemaquan, Galinge, and Kendekeke, whereas Pb-Zn skarn deposits are found in Weibao, Sijiaoyang, and Niukutou. Furthermore, small deposits and mines are scattered throughout the region, a fact that has attracted the attention of many researchers. Published studies have shown that the skarn mineralization in this area is genetically related to Triassic granitoids [12,13] and that different deposits are generally characterized by a distinct skarn mineral composition.
Porphyry–skarn Cu–Fe–Pb–Zn polymetallic deposits in NW China. Middle to Late Triassic granitoids are widespread in this area, many of which are closely related to the formation of ore deposits. Although a large number of studies have been carried out on the geochronological framework of magmatic activities. Particularly, the contribution of the depleted mantle- versus enriched crust-derived magmas in the formation of mineralized Triassic granitoids has been unclear. Studies have suggested that polymetallic skarn-type mineralization in the QMB occurred during the Middle to Late Triassic. The QMB was constructed through protracted accretion and collision of a collage of terranes during the subduction and closure of the Qimantagh Ocean, a branch of the Paleo-Tethys Ocean from the Neoproterozoic to Early Mesozoic.
