As one of the three largest Sn-Zn polymetallic ore deposits in China, the Dulong ore deposit is located within the southern Laojunshan Sn-Zn-W polymetallic mineralization province in south-eastern Yunnan. There are conflicts on ore genesis of this deposit. Researches on the trace and rare earth elements of sphalerite in the deposit, by ICP-MS, shows that the sphalerite is characterized by enrichment of Fe, Mn, In, Co, Sn and depleted in Cd, Ga, Ge, Ni, which is similar to that of the Bainiuchang Pb-Zn ore deposit (magmatic hydrothermal type deposit related to Late Yanshanian granite), and certainly different from that of the skarn type Pb-Zn deposit of distant origin (e.g. Hetaoping and Luziyuan, Yunnan), and is quite different from that of the massive sulfide Pb-Zn deposit (e.g. Laochang, Yunnan and Dabaoshan, Guangdong). The chondrite-normalized REE patterns of the sphalerite belong to the LREE-rich type, which are characterized by the higher LREE/HREE ratio, the obvious negative anomaly of Eu and the unconspicuous anomaly of Ce, corresponding to that of Late Yanshanian concealed granite. Research data in this paper show that, in this deposit, the ore-forming materials mainly came from the granite and the ore-forming temperature belongs to the medium-high temperature. In consideration of the vertical mineralization zoning and skarn alteration zoning, it is suggested that the Dulong Sn-Zn polymetallic ore deposit is a skarn type related to the Late Yanshanian granite, and the zoned mineralization and wall-rock alteration are controlled by the distance between the deposit and the concealed intrusion.
