There is a Variscan Junying diorite (293 Ma) in the eastern part of the prospecting area near the major Fe-Co mineralization. Strong magnetic geophysical anomalous is spatially related to the Fe-Co mineralization. The iron mineralization is wide-spread; the iron orebodies are normally composed by 6-7 layers, totaling 15-70m in thickness, 50-170m long and extending for over 200m along the dip. The Fe grade is normally 50.5-59.5%. The Co orebodies appear to be spatially associated with the iron orebodies, normally within 30m of the footwalls and the hanging walls of the iron orebodies; they occur in the fractured rocks as veins, 65-170m long, and up to 6.4m wide. The Co contents are typically of 0.08-0.15%. All the characteristics of tectonic background, the host rock unit, and particularly the Fe-Co association with local high Cu, are comparable with the Shi Lu Iron Deposit. There is great potential to find a large Fe-Co deposit of the Shi Lu Iron Deposit type. |
