New insights into the hydrothermal evolution of skarn deposits: A case study of the Dongzhongla Pb-Zn deposit in Tibet, SW China

Revealing hydrothermal evolution (from the early quartz-sulfide to the late fluorite-carbonate-sulfide stages) of skarn sulfide deposits is significant for understanding their ore formation processes, but the detailed studies are rare. In this study, we choose the Dongzhongla skarn Pb-Zn deposit (0.38 Mt Pb + Zn) located in central Lhasa, Tibet as a case study, and present detailed ore deposit geology and dataset of in situ chemical compositions...
