The Les Malines carbonate hosted lead-zinc deposit is located 50 km north-west of Montpellier, France, in the south-eastern part of the French Massif Central where sediments of the Mesozoic Sub-alpine Basin unconformably overlie Palaeozoic basement which is composed of Cambrian dolomitic limestone and shales .
Mineralisation is found in both the basement carbonates below the unconformity and in Triassic dolomites above. The deposit has abundant associated hydrocarbons and barite. It is said to be one of the biggest carbonate hosted base metal deposits in Europe.
