Comments on the geologic information

  • THIS DEPOSIT IS A VANADIUM-BEARING TITANOMAGNETITE WHICH S HOSTED IN THE MAFIC AND ULTRAMAFIC INTRUSION OF GABBRO TROCTOLITE AND PYROXENITE. THE ORE BODIES WITH A TOTAL THICKNESS OF 200-300M ARE INTER-LAYERED IN THE MIDDLE AND LOWER PARTS OF THE MASSIVE. THE ORE BODIES STRETCH 6 KM FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AND DIP AT AN ANGLE OF 10-45 DEGREES.
  • THE MAIN INDUSTRIAL MINERALS ARE VANADIUM-BEARING TITANO- MAGNETITE, ILMENITE, AND SULFIDE MINERALS. THE NB-TA-BEARING VEINS IRRUPT INTO THE UPPER PARTS OF THE MAFIC MASSIVE AND CAN BE MINED ALONG WITH THE TITANOMAGNETITE ORE.
