Abstract:In recent years, great breakthroughs have been made in the exploration of skarn type iron ores in deep covering area in southeast of Dezhou city in Shandong province. Litun iron deposit, Dazhang iron deposit and Pandian iron deposit have been discovered successively. The effect of prospecting methods, such as "Geology—Magnet—Gravity—Electricity—Seismic—Drilling—Logging—Comprehensive study" is obvious in the prospecting work in the area. The oreforming geological conditions of skarn type iron ore are superior in Dazhang area. The Ordovician carbonate strata are widely distributed in the area. The middle basic intrusive rocks developed in the late Yanshanian. The tectonic activity is significant. In the past, good prospecting results have been obtained in the west half ring area of Dazhang anomaly, but the east half ring area of the anomaly has not been verified. On the basis of summarizing the oreforming regularity of skarn type iron ore in Dazhang area, anomaly verification work has been carried out in the east half ring of Dazhang anomaly. Although no iron ore is found in DZK2 borehole in the area, a mineralized anomaly is found in the contact zone between Ordovician strata and intrusive rocks exposed by three component magnetometry in borehole, which is inferred to be a blind orebody. It is showed that the east half ring of Dazhang anomaly also has a good prospecting potential for iron ore. The application of three component magnetometry in borehole in this area proves the necessity and effectiveness of this exploration method in the exploration of skarn type iron ore.
