Abstract

The Nihe iron deposit is a newly discovered large scale iron deposit in the central part of the Middle and Lower Yangtze River region in eastern China. This study presents the latest discoveries from field and laboratory works about the iron deposit. The hydrothermal alteration and mineralization are newly subdivided into six stages and each stage is described in detail. Moreover, petrological, geochemical, geochronological (U-Pb dating and Ar-Ar dating) study results are also reported. Our results show the age of the magmatic and mineralization is corresponding to the Early Cretaceous. Mineral chemistry (EPMA and LAICPMS) show fluids get more oxide towards to the late hydrothermal stage, and the trace elements in the magnetite are similar with the selected skarn and IOCG deposits.
