The Zhouyoufang iron ore deposit in Huoqiu County,Anhui Province is located in the middle of the Huoqiu iron ore field in western part of the province,belonging to sedimentary metamorphic type.The mineral district has been well explored.In order to promote the exploitation and utilization of the resources in the depth and the neighborhood of the deposit,the deep exploration work,mainly of drilling and analysis,has been carried out systematically.Based on previous data and deep exploration results,this paper summarizes regional geological background and geological characteristics of the mineral district.The distribution characteristics of 16 iron ore bodies have been basically identified in the upper and lower ore belts of the deposit.It is determined to be a Ⅱ-4 type deposit with mining technical conditions being simple in hydrogeology,and moderate both in engineering geology and environmental geology.
