In this chapter a selected of polymetallic deposits are presented, including skarn
Tumurtiin Ovoo; hydrothermal vein and stockwork Tsav, Dulaankhar, Mungun-
Undur, Ulaan, Mukhar, Uulbayan and Nominy Am; and epithermal vein systems
Khartolgoi, Kharmorit, Borts Uul, Burgedtas, and Bayan-Uul deposits.
7.2 Metallogeny and Distribution of Polymetallic Deposits
in Mongolia
Polymetallic (Pb-Zn Ag, Cu) deposits and occurrences in Mongolia are different
in terms of their geology, mineralogical characteristics, timing, and genetic pro-
cesses. Therefore, researchers have suggested different classifications for the
