Zimbabwe has the potential of being a major player in global diamond production. Platinum Group Metals 1.4 There are over 4 000 recorded gold deposits, nearly all of them located on ancient workings. The country remains under-explored to discover new deposits as well as realising full potential of known deposits. More than 90%
Interest in gold–antimony deposits is caused by the discovery of large objects of this type in many metallogenic provinces of the world, e.g., in Russia (Yakutia), South Africa (Zimbabwe), Vietnam, Australia, China, etc. Most frequently, such deposits occur in carbonaceous–terrigenous strata, sometimes spatially related to granitoid …

Antimony deposits that contribute to Australia's EDR occur in New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia; a minor deposit also occurs in Queensland (Figure 7). Australia's only antimony producing mine is Costerfield in Victoria. In 2019, the mine produced 2.03 kt of antimony, a decrease of 1.54 kt compared to 2018 (3.57 kt). ...
The Jiangnan Orogen, located between the Yangtze and Cathaysia Blocks in southern China, hosts significant gold and antimony resources. Long-standing controversies over the number and precise timing of gold, gold-antimony and antimony mineralization event(s), and the genesis of these deposits, limit the understanding and …
Geology of the Studied Deposits The studied gold-antimony deposits are located in and at the contact of an ~8-km-wide volcano-sedimentary belt running south to north from the Globe and Phoenix to the Indarama mines (Fig. 2). Mineralization occurs in the form of polymetallic veins and alteration zones (Stowe, 1979).
The southern Tibet Au Sb metallogenic belt in the Himalayan orogen consists of more than 50 gold, gold–antimony and antimony lode deposits, and associated placer gold deposit. The deposits are hosted in a Mesozoic metamorphosed turbidite sequence of the Indian passive continental margin. The Zhemulang Au deposit, Mazhala Au Sb …
The Xikuangshan antimony (Sb) deposit is the largest Sb deposit in the world; however, the metal source and cycling and a holistic understanding of the deposit genesis remain equivocal. Sulfur isotope signatures offer a means of finger different sources in a hydrothermal deposit, although one must be careful to rule out subsequent ...

Giant deposits such as Lihir and Porgera have been the reward. Another example is the giant copper-gold-uranium deposit at Olympic Dam, South Australia, discovered beneath 300 m of cover using an exploration program based on models developed by Western Mining Corporation geologists for Zambian copper belt-type deposits.
Antimony is chalcophile, occurring with sulfur and the heavy metals, lead, copper, and silver. Over a hundred minerals of antimony are found in nature. Stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) is the predominant ore mineral of antimony. The most important use of antimony metal is as a hardener in lead for storage batteries.
