Study on Geological Characteristics and Deep Prospecting Direction of Lumaobu Iron Deposit in Laiwu City in Shandong Province
In this paper,geological characteristics of iron enrichment,ore body characteristics,and geo-physical features of Lumaobu area in Laiwu city in Shandong province have been analyzed and studied,and the directions for deep prospecting has been put forward.It is found that rich iron deposits in Lumaobu ar-ea are of the skarn type,mainly occurring in contact zones between Ordovician Majiagou group carbonate rocks and Yanshanian late-stage mafic to intermediate diorite bodies and their vicinity.The ore bodies are located in the transition zones of magnetic and gravity anomalies and are also found in areas with higher gravity values.Through analysis on exploration projects in Laiwu Lumaobu area,newly discovered iron ore bodies have an average grade of TFe 53.38%and mFe 51.28%,with the highest single sample grade reaching 61.30%.Two prospective areas for mineralization have been identified.This study will provide technical support for the exploration of rich iron ore resources in the region.
