Fe-Cu deposit, hosted in carbonatitic volcanic rocks and pyroclastic sedimentary rocks at the western side of the Wuding-Lufeng volcanic collapsed basin. The ore bodies occur as layers, bands and lenses conformable to the host carbonatitic rocks. The ores usually appear massive, impregnated and granular in carbonatitic rocks, and brecciform and sandy in pyroclastic sedimentary rocks.
