Abstract

As a globally significant strategic mineral resource, the study of lead-zinc ore types and mineralization characteristics holds critical importance for the exploration, development, and utilization of mineral resources. China currently ranks among the world's leading producers in leadzinc mining scale, yet its deposits are characterized by numerous low-grade ores and multiple associated minerals. Primary lead-zinc ore types include sedimentary, igneous, and meta-morphic deposits, each exhibiting distinct mineralization features such as depositional envi-ronments, controlling factors, and mineral assemblages. Compared to blind drilling, classifying ore types and analyzing genesis factors can significantly enhance exploration success rates and reduce costs, particularly for detecting hidden and deep-seated deposits. This paper aims to conduct a systematic review of major lead-zinc ore types, genesis characteristics, and mineral sources worldwide, providing reference information for future related work and research.
