Banded iron formation (BIF) within an area of 8 km long in E-W and 3 Km wide in S-N direction. The deposit can be divided into three sectors. The main iron-bearing bed is the first Fe-amphibolite rock layer in the Lower Banmiaozhi Formation of the Lower Anshan Group. The orebodies are controlled strictly by the stratigraphical horizon, and are concordant to their host rocks biotite gneiss, biotite amphibolite schist, amphibolite, biotite plagioclase gneiss and micaschist. They are lenticular, lentoid, stratiform, bedded and irregular. Along the strike and dip, the orebodies show slight undulation. The ores are mainly of fine crystalloblastic granular texture and have banded, streaky and laminated structures. Late alteration is scarcely found.
