Abstract:Xiaoyanzhuang iron deposit is located in the central of Cangyi iron ore belt in Luxi area. It belongs to "Anshan type" sedimentary metamorphic iron deposit. Ore bodies buried in the depth of 90~403m. It occurred in Shancaoyu formation i Neo-Archean Taishan group. The iron deposit is composed of two ore bodies, and the ore bodies is saddle-shaped and appears to be nearly parallel to the strata. The distribution of the ore body is controlled by Shiyan anticline with the trend of NW. The inclination is S and N, the dip angle is 33°~52°.The ore-bearing rock are magnetite hornblende quartzite and magnetite quartz amphibolite, and the biotite granule and the biotite amphibole schist are the surrounding rock of roof and floor of ore body. The ore industry type is weakly magnetic poor iron ore which should be chosen. Based on the study of geological characteristics, prospecting indicators of Xiaoyanzhuang iron deposit have been summarized, the metallogenic model has been established, and the origin of the deposit has been studied. It will provide some reference for searching for the same type of iron ore in this area.
