Distinct metal zonation patterns indicate the influence of both redox and temperature on mineralization in the Tonglvshan deposit.
Trace element and S isotope analyses reveal a genetic control mechanism governing the distribution of metals from porphyry to distal vein types.
The study identifies two pyrite types enriched differently in metals, with significant implications for understanding ore-forming fluids.
Findings suggest that both temporal and spatial controls influence metal zoning, providing crucial insights for future mineral exploration.
