The Zhonggu ore field, as an important ore-cluster in the southern part of the Ningwu volcanic basin, hosts series of iron deposits which are represented by Gushan and Baixiangshan and usually occurred at the contact zone between the dioritic porphyry and sedimentary rocks. Our investigation shows that neither the dioritic porphyry nor the sedimentary rock is the source of iron ores, and that the source of most iron-rich ore- bodies is the ore magma-hydrothermal system in the deep chamber.
