Fluid-zircon interaction during low-temperature hydrothermal processes: Implications for the genesis of the Banxi antimony deposit, South China

Fluid-zircon interaction in hydrothermal systems may provide key information on fluid characterization and ore precipitation. In this study, in situ analyses of Hf isotopes in zircon, combined with U–Pb ages and major and trace element data, provide new insights into fluid genesis at the Banxi antimony deposit. The zircons separated from typical quartz-stibnite ores and altered wall rocks have undergone fluid modification to different degrees,...
