METALLOGENIC REGULARITIES AND RESOURCES POTENTIAL OF THE IRON DEPOSITS IN ANSHAN-BENXI AREA, LIAONING PROVINCE

On the basis of ore-forming geological setting, the geological characteristics, genesis types, metallogenic regularities as well as resources potential of the iron deposits in Anshan-Benxi area are analyzed. The research proves that the iron deposits are of banded iron formation type, controlled by the strata. With a great resources potential, the breakthrough in the iron exploration is expectable in the area. A suggestion for further work is also put forward.
