摘要
The Shihlu ore deposit in Hainan is one of the famous mining areas not only for large amounts of iron but also for considerable economic values of associated minerals such as copper and cobalt. This paper reevaluated the major factors controlling the orientations of ore bodies, and discussed the source of metallogenic materials, the relationship between magmatic activity and the metallogenic process, and the metallogenic epoch. The results show that the metallogenic materials of the Shilu ore deposit were possibly derived from the Shilu Group of primary volcanic-sedimentary formations, and later regional metamorphism and magmatic activity played an important role in the transformation and concentration of these material.
