Most skarns are closely related to intrusion and carbonate rocks. However, they also can occur in lots of different settings including shear zones, sea floor and shallow geothermal systems (Meinert et al., 2005). The Cihai iron deposit is hosted in diabase with welldeveloped skarn assemblages. Unlike typical skarn deposit, there is no carbonate rocks observed in the open pit of Cihai iron deposit, here we report the detailed information about this deposit and wish to shed some new light on this type of skarn deposit.
