Study on Geological Characteristics and Genesis of Vanadium Deposit in Lijiawan,
The Lijiawan vanadium deposit of Xichuan Country is located at the north rim of Yangtse plate, hosted in lower part of the Lower Cambrian Shuigoukou Formation. The type of the ore is siliceous rocks, shale or a mixture.V2O5 content is about 0.95~1.34%. Vanadium is rich in the bottom of the silicolite, upper of the variegated shale. In which the silicolite and the shale interbedding is mainly shale. The vanadium’s mode of occurrence is highly rich or dispersion, which mainly occurred in the clay mineral by adsorption and isomorphism. It is positive correlation with calcium and barium.
