Geological characteristics and metallogenic age of Tengshan'ao Sn deposit in Dayishan of South Hunan and its prospecting significance

The Tengshan'ao Sn deposit, located at the Dayishan ore field, Nanling Range, is one of the recently explored deposits in this region. In this study, LA-MC-ICP-MS cassiterite U–Pb and muscovite 40Ar-39Ar isotopic dating analyses for altered granite-type Sn ores yielded ages of 156.7 ± 4.3 Ma an...
