Abstract:Caozhushan mining area is a part of Cangyi iron ore belt. Hidden Anshan type iron deposit occurs in this area. Through explorations, two main ore belts in north and south and five ore bodies have been circled. Ore bodies occur in Shancaoyu formation of Taishan group. Its forms are controlled by folds in the base with the characteristics of extending parallelly. After previous geological exploration, the position, shape, scale, occurrence, distribution, thickness, ore quality of ore bodies in the depth of -800m have been identified. Ore bodies have not closed along the trend and tendency. It has the trend of extending continuously, and ore grades and thickness do not have the trend of cutting. It is concluded that there is a big prospecting prospect in the depth of -800m. Through summarizing metallogenic regularity and prospecting criteria, prospecting model has been established. It will provide reliable geological references for further exploaration in this area.
