Comments on the geologic information

  • THE JINGPING DEPOSIT IS BELIEVED TO BE A METAMORPHOSED SEDIMENTARY PHOSPHORITE. ACTUALLY, THE PHOSPHORITE/ APATITE OCCURS AS THIN LENSES OR PARTINGS UP TO 400M LONG AND 2-6M THICK. THE DEPOSITS OCCUR IN A SEQUENCE OF MARBLES, BIOTITE- MUSCOVITE-QUARTZITES AND MICA-DOLOMITE SCHISTS FORMING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE YUNG TAI SUITE.
  • THE ROCK HAS A FINELY BANDED APPEARANCE. THE APATITE ORE- BODIES HAVE PHOSPHATE CONTENT IN EXCESS OF 8%.
