  • Field Value
    MAS Matrix # 1
    MAS Column # 1
    Type of Orebody #1 SEDIMENTARY
    Shape of Orebody #1 MASSIVE
    Primary mode of Origin SEDIMENTATION

Comments on the geologic information

  • APATITE REPRESENTS CARBONATE FLUORAPATITE
  • NO OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE GEOMETRY OF THE OREBODY IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. THE PHOSPHATIZATION OF THE DOUSHANTO FORMATION ALONG THE NORTHERN MARGIN OF THE CENTRAL GUIZHOU PLATFORM IS EXTENSIVE. THE WENGFU DEPOSIT CONSISTS OF TWO ORE BEDS; THE LOWER BED "A" IS COMPRISED OF SILICATE-CARBONATE TYPE PHOSPHORITE. THE UPPER BED "B" IS A CARBONATITE TYPE OF PHOSPHATE.
