The Dahutang deposit is a newly discovered tungsten deposit, which is within the largest ones in the world with an estimated WO3 reserve of 2 million tones. W-mineralization is considered to be related with the Late Mesozoic granites in the district. However, the precise emplacement ages, sources of...
