1 Geological setting and samples Songxi Ag-Sb ore deposit is located in the southern margin of Yongding-Mexian Paleozoic depressionof South China Caledonian orogenic belt, and the northern margin of Zhaigang Mesozoic volcanic basin,where a series of faults and folds formed with northwest tectonic directions. The sedimentary rocks arecomposed of Songling Group of low Jurassic system, Zhangping Group of middle Jurassic system and Quaternary System in which Songling Group can be divided into 3 lithostratigraphic units regionally, where thetwo of the units can be found there, i.e. the middle unit with gray-yellow quartz sandstone, fine sandstone and siltstone, and the upper with black shale and tuff, in which layered Ag-Sb ore bodies are deposited, and especially in the low part of quartz sandstone, siltstone, bioclastic limestone and the alteredbasalt are the main ore-bearing rocks. The ore bodies can be divided into two types of mineralization, i.e. bedded or bedded-like types and vein type. 1 Geological setting and samples Songxi Ag-Sb ore deposit is located in the southern margin of Yongding-Mexian Paleozoic depression of South China Caledonian orogenic belt, and the northern margin of Zhaigang Mesozoic volcanic basin, where a series of faults and folds formed with northwest tectonic directions.
