Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for evaluating a metallogenic potential of a skarn deposit based on the magnetite composition, including collecting geological, geophysical, geochemical, and remote sensing data in a studying area, systematically, and delineating a favorable area for mineralization; collecting magnetite-bearing samples in the favorable area for mineralization, and describing the lithology, alteration and mineralization characteristics of each sample; selecting the most representative magnetite samples for chemical analysis to obtain average contents of trace elements Ti, Ni, V, K and Al+Si+Mg, denoted as c(Ti), c(Ni), c(V), c(K), and c(Al+Si+Mg) in ppm; and calculating discriminant factors F1, F2, F3, and F4 by substituting data, and performing discrimination; and when the four discriminant factors all discriminate the metallogenic potential to be better, determining the skarn deposit in the favorable area for mineralization to have a good metallogenic potential; and discriminating as a poor metallogenic potential in the remaining cases.
