About 40 mineral species were recorded in ores of the deposit at course microscopic and EPMA studies. Quartz and carbonates prevail (>30%). Majority (5-10%) opaque minerals are galena, sphalerite, and pyrite. Common sulfides are arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, stannite, marcasite, pyrrhotite, and stibnite. Segregations of sulfosalt minerals were observed. Their amount is averaged not more 2%. Sulfosalt minerals found are freibergite, stephanite, pyrargyrite, miargyrite, chalcostibite, boulangerite, jamesonite, gustavite, andorite, owyheeite, diaphonie, and franckeite. Rare minerals are cassiterite, wolframite, berthierite, gudmundite, canfieldite, and hocartite.

Enargite and tennantite are part of the sulfosalt minerals’ class. Sulfosalt minerals differ from sulphides in that semimetal elements such as antimony, arsenic or bismuth in sulphides substitute the sulphur positions, but in sulfosalts they substitute for the metal ions and bond with the sulphur.

Stage 4 (quartz + antimony–lead–silver sulfosalt minerals) hosts the majority of the Sb–Ag mineralisation in the Zhaxikang deposit with massive (Figure 3m), needle-like (Figure 3n) and veined (Figure 3o) ore textures. The main antimony–lead–silver sulfosalt minerals are boulangerite, jamesonite, bournonite, tetrahedrite and andorite.
