North Korea is host to world-class metallic mineral deposits, such as the Komdok Cu-Pb-Zn polymetallic mineral belt, but little is known about the resource. To better understand the genesis of the Cu mineralization around the China-North Korea border, we determined the U-Pb, Re-Os, and Rb-Sr ages of...
