Sea-land replacement – lacustrine accumulation iron deposits
Iron-bearing layers are often closely related to coal-bearing strata. Some mineral layers are produced on the corrosion surface of carbonate rocks and are symbiotic with bauxite and clay minerals.
The structure type is messy, generally showing a fine grain structure, the particles are cemented to each other, and the particle size is fine and uneven.
The metal mineral deposits are dominated by hematite or siderite, or perhaps both. Gangue minerals include chlorite, quartz, clay minerals, etc.
Produced in old metamorphic rock systems, mostly large deposits
The ore has many striped and striped structures, granite crystallization and scale crystallization structures.
Metal mineral deposits are generally dominated by magnetite, with a few mining areas containing hematite and more false hematite. The ores generally contain iron phosphate and iron silicate, and the content in individual mining areas is relatively high. Gangue mineral deposits include quartz, chlorite, mafic amphibole, almandine garnet, biotite, carbonate mineral deposits, etc., generally containing a small amount of pyrite
Anben area iron ore

The ore structure is mainly massive, followed by ooid and striped shapes.
Metal mineral deposits include hematite, siderite, magnetite, and limonite. Gangue minerals include quartz, sericite, chlorite and carbonates
Jilin Dalizi Iron Mine
Touch to inform-hydrothermal iron deposit
Mainly produced in the contact zone between medium-acid intrusive bodies and carbonate rocks
The ore mainly has block structure, followed by disseminated structure. There is also a brecciated structure, with a dense and granular structure
The metal mineral deposits are mainly magnetite, followed by false hematite, and some mining areas show more siderite. The sulfide is mainly pyrite, with chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, molybdenite, etc. in some areas. A few deposits contain cassiterite and colloidal tin. The gangue mineral deposits are mainly diopside and garnet, followed by hornblende and carbonate mineral deposits; in some mining areas, the gangue mineral deposits contain more serpentine.
Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, Au, Ag, Mo, W, Sn, S, etc.

Iron deposits related to continental volcanic-intrusive activity
Produced in volcaniclastic rocks or in the volcanic rock contact zone inside, on top of and around the porphyry body, and in the contact zone between the porphyry body and the surrounding accumulation rocks
Structures such as massive, disseminated, disseminated vein-like, brecciated, mottled, striped, etc.
Some material mineral deposits are dominated by magnetite, followed by false hematite and hematite, and some are dominated by false hematite. Siderite content varies from mining area to mining area. Gangue mineral deposits include diopside, actinolite, apatite, alkaline feldspar, pyrite and gypsum, etc.
It is mainly produced near the seamount eruption center in the geosyncline fold zone. The ore body occurs in the pyroclastic rock-carbonate rock-lava formation.
