6. Conclusions
- (1)
- The Xianghualing orefield contains vein and porphyry-type Sn–Pb–Zn orebodies. The former occur in the main faults and are the most In-enriched orebodies, while the latter occur in the granitic porphyry dikes.
- (2)
- Bulk chemical analysis of the ores shows the In content of the vein-type Sn–Pb–Zn orebodies varies from 0.79 to 1680 ppm (avg. 217 ppm, n = 29), and that of the porphyry-type orebodies varies from 10 to 150 ppm (avg. 64 ppm, n = 10).
- (3)
- The EPMA data shows that sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and stannite are In-rich minerals, and sphalerite is the most significant In-rich mineral in the orefield. The most enriched sphalerite contains 7–8 wt % In in its core and up to 21.96 wt % In in its rim, which makes it the most In-enriched sphalerite in southern China. The Cd content of the In-rich sphalerite ranges from 0.35 to 0.45 wt % and exhibits an “Indium window” in the Cu-In-S phases.
- (4)
- The In mineralization of the two types of In-bearing Sn–Pb–Zn orebodies was related to the intrusion of volatile-rich, In-rich, A-type granites and was controlled by normal faults within a magmatic-diapiric extensional structure.
