Meigang antimony deposit is a newly discovered small antimony deposit outside the Fangshan antimony ore fields and Damushan antimony ore fields in southern Hubei.On the basis of field geological survey,the metallogenic geo-logical characteristics of Meigang antimony deposit are found out,and its prospecting significance is expounded.The de-posit is located in the south wing of Tongshan synclinorium.The ore bodys are lenticular and veined in the silicified tec-tonic breccia zone of the interlayer fracture zone between Second Members and Third Members of Xintan Formation.The ore mineral is stibnite.The average grade of Sb is 0.51%-1.32%,accompanied by alteration such as silicification and pyritization.It is a medium-low temperature hydrothermal antimony deposit.As an antimony deposit found in a new area and a new horizon outside the Southern Hubei antimony concentration area,Meigang antimony deposit has expanded the prospecting space of antimony deposits in southern Hubei.It is recommended to strengthen the exploration of antimony deposits in Tongshan synclinorium and its surrounding areas.
