Mineralization, Exploration and Resource Potential of Porphyry-skarn-epithermal Copper Polymetallic Deposits in Tibet

Abstract

60 million tons, molybdenum resources of >3 million tons, a total of associated gold > 1 000 tons, associated silver of > 25 000 tons, and lead and zinc resources of >10 million tons. Tibet has become China's most important nonferrous metal reserve base, and this study concludes that the copper resource potential in Tibet will exceed 150 million tons.
