  • Descrição: The Jinding Zn-Pb deposit is located in the Lanping-Simao basin, Yunnan, China. Paleomagnetic results are reported from the Beichang, Jiayashan, and Nanchang mineralization zones that are hosted in the Lower Cretaceous Jinxing and Upper Paleocene Yunlong Formations. The timing of formation of the Zn-Pb mineralization has not been previously defined but is geologically constrained to be younger than Upper Paleocene. Paleomagnetic analyses of 645 specimens from 42 sites using mostly thermal and then alternating field step demagnetization isolated a stable characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) for 29 mineralized sites. Step demagnetization and rock magnetic analyses of Zn and Pb concentrates and tailings show that the main remanence carriers are pyrrhotite and magnetite or low Ti titanomagnetite inclusions in sphalerite and galena. Randomly oriented ChRM directions for 18 clast specimens collected from site 40 provide a conglomerate test that shows that the clasts have not been remagnetized by a metamorphic event. A paleomagnetic fold test on the mineralized specimens is negative, showing that the mineralization is epigenetic because its ChRM substantially postdates the major thrust folding event that formed the dome structure of the Jinding deposit. Using extensive regional geologic and paleomagnetic data from other studies with the Jinding paleomagnetic data yields a mean age of 23 ± 3 Ma for the mineralization.
