Abstract:Iron deposit is an important strategic mineral that has been in short supply for a long time in China. Multiple large and medium size skarn type deposits have been discovered in QiheYucheng area in Dezhou city, such as Litun iron deposit, Dazhang iron deposit and Guodian iron deposit. The study area is located in the central part of QiheYucheng key exploration area. Due to its location in the deep coverage area of Quaternary system in northwest Shandong province, the degree of geological work in the past is relatively low. In order to study geological characteristics of this area, geological data has been sorted and analyzed, and oreforming geological background and characteristics of Guodian iron deposit have been summarized and studied. It is showed that the ore body was formed in the early Cretaceous, and its distribution is controlled by the stratigraphy and rock mass. The thickness of the ore body is closely related to development degree of skarn. The origin of the deposit has been studied. The main ore body is a contact metasomatic iron deposit related to neutral intrusive rocks. It can provide some references for the exploration of rich iron deposits in the area.
