Lead and zinc deposits in the stratigraphic sequence of the Earth
Abstract
It is generalized the data of location in structures and stratigraphic sequences of the Earth lead and zinc deposits following geological-industrial types (GIT): massive sulphide Cyprus, massive sulphide Urals, massive sulphide Kuroko, massive sulphide Filizchay, stratiform lead-zinc сarbonate-hosted, skarn lead-zinc (stratiform, converted to skarns), stratiform lead-zinc сlastic-hosted, lead-zinc vein. According to estimates which were made by the author, during geological history of the Earth, from the Late Archean to the Quaternary it was accumulated at least 17.3 billion tons of ore, containing more than 317 million tons of lead and 600 million tons of zinc.
