Skarn-type iron-boron deposit.
With an iron ore reserve of 23.7 million tons (Mt) as of 2015, the deposit represents an important source of iron in the Ningzhen ore district. Although the Yeshan deposit is, by definition, a classic example of Fe skarn mineralization.
The deposit comprises three ore zones β the North, Eastern, and Tieshigang ore zones β and contains nine major tabular- and lens-shaped economic ore bodies that occur within the pluton (in the case of the Tieshigang ore zone) or at the contact zone between the pluton and the wall rock (in the case of the North and Eastern ore zones). The individual ore bodies have thicknesses of 0.55β54.7 m and lengths of 10β320 m. In the North ore zone, the ore bodies strike northwest, dip at 25β65Β° to the southwest, and contain average Fe and Cu grades of approximately 44.24 wt% and 0.40 wt%, respectively. In the Eastern ore zone, Fe ore bodies strike eastβwest and dip at 40β75Β° to the south, with an average Fe grade of 37.58 wt%. The Eastern ore zone also contains B mineralization hosted by camsellite and ludwigite, with a reserve of 280,000 tons at an average ore grade of 11.32 wt%.
Skarns developed at Yeshan are metasomatically zoned, with a pyroxene-rich assemblage proximal to the carbonate wall rock and a garnet-rich assemblage distal to the carbonate wall rock.
