Vein type silver-lead deposits, which occur in structurecontrolled alteration belts, are very common in the western Henan Province of China. In the past years, many silverlead prospecting targets were abandoned due to thin thickness and discontinuous mineralization. Now the situation is significantly changed due to the successful operation and booming of the mineral industry in the last decade. Since 2004, Silvercorp Metals Inc. has cooperated successfully with Henan Provincial Nonferrous Metals Geological and Mineral Resources Bureau in exploring and developing the Tieluping-Shagou silver-lead deposit in a region of about 80 km in west Henan. Now the Joint Venture – Henan Found Mining Company has become one of the largest silver and lead suppliers in China.
