The Houzhongshan iron deposit is located in the northern part of the Zhonggu ore field in the south section of the Ningwu volcanic rock basin in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River metallogenic belt,which is an iron deposit of hydrothermal metasomatism and filling origin.The ore bodies occur near the contact zone between dioritic porphyrite and the Huangmaqing Formation and Zhouchongcun Formation in the middle Triassic.The basement fault,intrusive contact zone and anticline structure jointly control the occurrences of the ore bodies.This paper analyzes the ore-forming geological conditions,mineralization characteristics and genesis of the deposit and discusses the prospecting direction for guiding exploration in the depth of the area.
