Abstract:Shuimotou limonite deposit in Yiyuan county occurred in Liujiadong-Shuimotou fault. The length of orebody is 500m, average depth is 2.83m, controlling slant depth is 71.1m, average grade is34.30%, and variation coefficient is 15%. It belongs to uniformity deposit of grade variation. Shuimotou deposit locates in Yiyuan county of Luxi area. It is a small type limonite deposit. Ore bodies in this area occurred in vein type. The scale of ore is small size with uniformity thickness and grade. The faulted structures and county rocks are very important to mineralization and ore-controlling factors. Infilling mineralization mainly happened in vein type ore bodies. The deposit is a low hydrothermal type deposits related to metasomatic filling-weathering.
