摘要
This paper deals with thallium in typical low-temperature deopits of Au, Tl, As,Sb and Hg in South China with respect to its mode of occurrence, minerals and geochemicalcorrelations with many other coexisting major and trace elements. Criteria are proposed for i-dentifying independent thallium deposits and thallium-bearing deposits and the Nanhua realgardeposit is classified for the first time as an independent thallium deposit. Tl, F, Cl, I and B aresuggested as indicators for low-temperature mineralization with examples furnished for their ap-plications.
