Genesis and prospecting significance of the Buziwannan gold-polymetallic ore deposit in the West Kunlun Orogen Belt, China: Constraints from mineral geochemistry and in situ S–Pb isotope analyses of sulfides

The Buziwannan gold-polymetallic deposit is located in Northwest China's West Kunlun Orogen Belt (WKOB). There are two metallogenic stages that have been identified: skarn and hydrothermal. In this research study, in situ mineral geochemistry and sulfur–lead isotopes are used to precisely constrain the genesis and ore-forming process.
