Magnetite, hematite, goethite and pyrite of different stages were identified according to their texture and structure features. Two sets of ^(207)Pb/^(206)Pb ages have been obtained by ICPMS isotope dating of magnetite quartzite, of which the zircon age with metamorphic origin is 1 916±88 Ma, representing the main metamorphic age of iron deposit. Another group of magmatic zircons with rhythmic zones are of 2 280±30 Ma age, representing the diagenetic age of iron formation. In addition, scattered age records after metamorphism indicate frequent hydrothermal events after mineralization. Based on the mineral fabric characteristics and the age data of zircons of different origins, it is known that the deposit has undergone sedimentary mineralization period, metamorphic mineralization period, hydrothermal mineralization period and weathering mineralization period.展开更多
