Leaching-accumulation type manganese oxide deposit.
Secondary Mn-oxide s consist mainly of pyrolusite, lithiophorite, and cryptomelane, with minor amounts of hollandite and nsutite. Cobalt and Ni are enriched in lithiophorite and cryptomelane-hollandite. Co occurs mainly in the structural and adsorption sites of lithiophorite (Deng & Li, 2017).
The Dongxiangqiao deposit lies northeast of Shuibutou and hosts stratiform carbonate manganese orebodies in the Gufeng Formation that locally reach approximately 8 m in thickness and are overlain by calcareous mudstone and underlain by Mn-bearing limestone. Its reported resources total 17.8 Mt, comprising 10.4 Mt of carbonate ore averaging 10.8 wt.% Mn and 7.4 Mt of oxide ore averaging 20.86 wt.% Mn.
