Biliya Valley Ag-Pb-Zn deposit is located in the Derbugan metallogenic belt on the western slope of Great Xing'an Range, which was discovered in recent years. The orebody types are vein, veinlet disseminated, and breccia. The ore bodies occur mainly in the Middle Jurassic intermediate-basic volcanic rocks of Tamulangou Formation and the felsic volcanic rocks of Manketouebo Formation, and are controlled by the NW-extending faults. According to the mineral association, ore fabric, and vein body interpenetration, the ore formed in four stages:silicified quartz + pyrite stage (Ⅰ),quartz + pyrite + sphalerite stage (Ⅱ),quartz+pyrite+sphalerite+galena+argentite+chalcopyrite±tetrahedrite stage (Ⅲ), and quartz + pyrite + calcite + fluorite ±opal stage (Ⅳ). The study on the fluid inclusions(FIs) of quartz and sphalerite shows that the FIs in quartz of the early stages (Ⅰ and Ⅱ) are composed of liquid-rich (WL type) and CO2-H2O (C type) types. Their homogenization temperature, salincty, and density vary from 188 to 254℃, 1.83% to 4.79%, and 0.81 to 0.94 g/cm3 respectively, and the fluid in this stage belongs to H2O-NaCl-CO2 system with low temper ature and medium-low salinity. The FIs in quartz and sphalerite of the main stage (Ⅲ) are composed of liquid-rich (WL type) type, their homogenization temperature, salincty, and density vary from 160 to 188℃, 3.69% to 7.15%, and 0.92 to 0.96 g/cm3 respectively, and the fluid in this stage generally belongs to H2O-NaCl-CH4 system with medium-low temperature and low salinity. The FIs in quartz of the late stage (Ⅳ) are composed of liquid-rich (WL type) and liquid (L type) types, their homogenization temperature, salincty, and density vary from 130 to 165℃, 1.22% to 3.53%, and 0.93 to 0.95 g/cm3 respectively, and the fluid in this stage generally belongs to H2O-NaCl system with low temperature and low salinity. The hydrogen-oxygen isotope geochemical characteristics of fluid inclusions reveal that the δ18OH2O-SMOW and δDH2O-SMOW values of ore-forming fluids in the early stages vary from -6.3‰ to -5.9‰ and -163.4‰ to -162.7‰, respectively. The δ18OH2O-SMOW value of ore-forming fluids in the main stage is -14.4‰, and δDH2O-SMOW values of ore-forming fluids in the main stage vary from -165.4‰ to -162.0‰. The δ18OH2O-SMOW and δDH2O-SMOW values of ore-forming fluids in the late stage are -19.1‰ and -150.7‰, respectively. The 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, and 208Pb/204Pb ratios of the lead isotope composition of metal sulfides vary from 18.435 to 18.513, 15.579 to 15.675, and 38.283 to 38.603, respectively. These features reveal that the ore-forming fluids of the deposit belong to H2O-NaCl-CH4 system with low temperature and low salinity; and the initial ore-forming fluid was mainly derived from the magmatic water, which was then mixed with meteoric water during mineralization; the ore-forming materials came from a mixed crustal and mantle source. Biliya Valley deposit is a low-sulfidation epithermal Ag-Pb-Zn polymetallic deposit, which is related to the volcanic-subvolcanic activity similar to the same type of deposits in the region. The mineralization occurred in Early Cretaceous (131.3 Ma), in a back-arc extension related subduction of the Paleo-Pacific plate.
