The studied sulfide mineralizations of Atshan and Darhib areas are related to the south Eastern Desert shear zones. They are hosted in talc- and tremolite-talc-rich rocks and also in meta-basaltic dykes and quartz-veins. The principal mineralization in Atshan includes sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and pyrrhotite, whereas that in Darhib comprises chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite, and galena with subordinate bornite and covellite. Darhib mineralization contains traces of altaite and electrum. Altaite has the highest Te concentrations suggesting crystallization under low fS₂ and/or high fTe₂ conditions, probably due to S budget consumption from the hydrothermal fluids in the late stage of deposition. Electrum has the highest Au contents with gold fineness value falling within the range of epithermal Au–Ag deposits. The dominance of recrystallized and replacement textures in the studied mineralizations suggests a secondary or post-depositional metamorphic overprint. The significant Cd contents in sphalerite from remobilized massive mineralizations hosted in tremolite-talc-rich rocks indicate crystallization at ~250–300 °C. Galena hosted in tremolite-talc-rich rocks is characterized by exceptionally high selenium and tellurium contents, indicating its generation from relatively Se–Te-enriched hydrothermal fluids. Pyrrhotite hosted in quartz-veins from Atshan was formed under lower sulfur activity (aS₂) and oxygen fugacity (fO₂). Covellite and bornite were formed due to chalcopyrite oxidation, revealing a role of supergene process. Shear zones, possibly produced during later thrust faulting, were acted as channel ways for hydrothermal mineralizing fluids that may have modified and/or precipitated the mineralization. Mineralizing fluids have probably resulted from dehydration during metamorphism and/or late-magmatic fluids from nearby granitic intrusions.

所研究的 Atshan 和 Darhib 地区的硫化物矿化与东南沙漠剪切带有关。它们存在于富含滑石和透闪石的滑石岩石以及变质玄武岩脉和石英脉中。Atshan 的主要矿化包括闪锌矿、黄铁矿、黄铜矿、方铅矿和磁黄铁矿，而 Darhib 的矿化包括黄铜矿、闪锌矿、黄铁矿和方铅矿，其次是斑铜矿和铜钴矿。Darhib 矿化含有微量的阿尔泰石和金银矿。阿尔泰石具有最高的 Te 浓度，表明在低f S ₂和/或高f Te ₂下结晶条件，可能是由于沉积后期热液流体的 S 预算消耗所致。Electrum 的金含量最高，金成色值在超热液 Au-Ag 矿床范围内。在所研究的矿化中重结晶和置换纹理的主导地位表明存在二次或沉积后变质叠印。来自富含透闪石的富含滑石的岩石中的再活化块状矿化的闪锌矿中的显着 Cd 含量表明在 ~250–300 °C 时结晶。方铅矿位于富含透闪石滑石的岩石中，其特征是硒和碲含量异常高，表明它是由相对富含硒 - 碲的热液流体产生的。Atshan石英脉中的磁黄铁矿是在较低的硫活性下形成的（aS ₂ ) 和氧逸度 ( f O ₂ )。由于黄铜矿氧化形成了铜铜矿和斑铜矿，揭示了表生过程的作用。剪切带，可能在后来的逆冲断层过程中产生，作为热液矿化流体的通道，可能已经改变和/或沉淀了矿化。矿化流体可能来自变质作用期间的脱水和/或附近花岗岩侵入体的晚期岩浆流体。
