白牛厂矿床是滇东南地区三大锡多金属矿床之一,银、铅、锌、锡都达到大型或超大型规模,同时还伴生丰富的分散元素(In、Cd、Ge、Ga等)。关于矿床成因,江鑫培(1990)认为是岩浆热液成因,白金刚等(1995)认为属喷流沉积成因,而更多的学者则认为属喷流沉积+岩浆热液叠加改造成因(华仁 The White Cattle ore deposit is one of the three major tin polymetallic deposits in southeastern Yunnan. Silver, lead, zinc and tin all reach large or very large scale, and are also accompanied by abundant dispersed elements (In, Cd, Ge, Ga, etc.). For the genesis of the deposit, Jiang Xinpei (1990) considered the genesis of magmatic hydrothermal fluid, while Bai Jingang et al. (1995) considered the genesis of jet flow sedimentation, while more scholars considered it as the jet stream deposition and magmatic hydrothermal superposition and transformation genesis
