Jinshajiang–Ailaoshan metallogenic belt


The Sanjiang Metallogenic Belt, situated in the south–eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, is a significant component of the Tethys tectonic domain. Within the belt, the Baoshan block is an important unit, located between the Tengchong Block and the Lanping–Simao Basin. The block has experienced the evolution of the Tethys Oceans and the collision and orogeny of Indo–Eurasia, which produced folds and faults within the block, providing favorable geological conditions for mineralization.
The regional stratigraphy is comprised of Paleozoic–Mesozoic sedimentary rocks and Cambrian Gongyanghe group metamorphic basement. The Tethyan orogeny led to the erosion of some sedimentary strata and the remaining outcrop consists of sedimentary shale and carbonate rocks.

Along with the process of Tethys accretionary orogeny and collisional orogeny, a series of minerals associated with the Tethys orogenic belt developed in the southwestern Sanjiang Tethys orogenic belt. The main mineral types can be divided into eight categories, including volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag deposits, porphyry Cu-(Mo-Au) deposits, porphyry Mo-W(-Cu) deposits, magmatic-hydrothermal Sn-W deposits, magmatic-hydrothermal Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag deposits, Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) Pb-Zn deposits, hydrothermal Au deposits and orogenic Au deposits. The porphyry Cu-(Mo-Au) deposits concentrate in the Jinshajiang–Honghe alkali-rich porphyry Cu-(Mo-Au) deposits belt and the Garzê porphyry Cu-(Mo-Au) deposits belt on the southern edge of the Yidun Island arc. The mineralization era of the Jinshajiang–Honghe alkali-rich porphyry Cu-(Mo-Au) deposits belt was concentrated in the Cenozoic and can be divided into the Jinshajiang porphyry belt in the north and the Honghe porphyry belt in the south. The porphyry deposits in the North belt are mainly Cu-(Mo-Au) deposits. The porphyry deposits in the south belt are mainly Au-(Cu-Mo) deposits. The mineralization age of the Garzê porphyry Cu-(Mo-Au) deposits belt on the southern edge of the Yidun Island Arc is Late Triassic. Porphyry Mo-W(-Cu) deposits are developed in the southern margin of the Yidun Island Arc of the Sanjiang orogenic belt and the contact position is between the Garzê–Litang combined zone and the Xiangcheng–Lijiang land margin depression at the western margin of the South China Craton. These Late Cretaceous deposits distributed in a nearly north–south direction are large porphyry Mo-W(-Cu) deposits. The magmatic-hydrothermal Sn-W deposits are located in the Tengchong–Baoshan block, the northern part of the Yidun volcanic arc, and the Changning–Menglian suture. The age span of the deposits ranges from Early Cretaceous, Late Cretaceous, and Paleocene.
