Skarn and volcanic rock-hosted hydrothermal iron mineralization.

The Gushan deposit is an open pit mine producing magnetiteโ€“hematiteโ€“apatite iron ore. The deposit is hosted by a caldera associated with andesitic volcanic rocks and a porphyritic gabbrodiorite intrusion. The porphyritic gabbrodiorite crops out over an area of 5 km2 and was emplaced into brecciated sandstone, muddy siltstone, and shale units of the Triassic Huangmaqing Formation. It has produced ~ 180 Mt of iron ore at grades of 50โ€“60 wt% Fe3O4, with high grade ores having grades of 80 wt% Fe3O4.
