The quot;on">quot;on">Zongwulong quot;on">Mountains are distributed along the Hercynian pull-apart trough, striking in NWW, forming an overall pattern of "one trough between two uplifts". The widespread sedimentation generated sedimentary exhalative rocks along growth faults provided favorable conditions for mineralization in this area. This work studied the regional geological background, metallotectonic environment and distribution rules of mineralization. It is suggested that this region has a good prospect to search for Pb-Zn-Cu deposits of sedimentary exhalative type, and skarn type or hydrothermal vein type copper-polymetallic deposits.
