Constraints of S–Pb–Sr Isotope Compositions and Rb–Sr Isotopic Age on the Origin of the Laoyingqing Noncarbonate-Hosted Pb–Zn Deposit in the Kunyang Group, SW China by Hongsheng Gong, Runsheng Han, Peng Wu, Gang Chen, Lingjie Li

“…Combined with the initial 87Sr/86Sr ratios of sphalerite between the (87Sr/86Sr)200Ma value of the basement rocks and that of the Upper Sinian–Permian carbonates, it can be concluded that the ore-forming metals were mainly derived from basement rocks. Third, sulfur isotopic composition of sphalerite from the Laoyingqing deposits shows δ34SCDT values that range mainly from -2.62‰ to 1.42‰, which is evidently lower than the δ34SCDT values of sulfides (8–20‰) from other Pb–Zn deposits in the SYGT. …”
