摘要
Sawusi lead-zinc sulfide deposit is located in the eastern portion of the Maizi volcanic-sedimentary basin along the southern margin of the Altay Mountains. This paper elaborates the geological and geochemical characteristics of the deposit in an attempt to tackle its genesis for the first time. In conclusion,skarns in the Sawusi deposit occur as stratiform, strata-bounded, consist of the Mn-rich mineral assemblage, and have been formed through centimeter-scale mutual infiltrative-metasomatism. This study has broad relevance to the massive sulfide deposits along the southern Altay Mountains in both genesis study and ore prospection.
