Abstract Geotectonically, the Bayan Obo deposit is located on the northern margin of the North China platform. When the Proterozoic Bayan Obo Group was formed, the area was probably a rift tectonic environment. Dolomite, the main wall rock (or host rock) of the orebody of the Bayan Obo REE deposit, shows a distinct stratified structure and is ...

Bayan Obo ore deposit is the world's largest rare-earth element (REE) resource, the second largest niobium (Nb) resource, and also a significant iron (Fe) resource in China. Evaluating resource potential for the deposit has become a focus of global interest. Rock-physical properties bridge geophysical exploration and geologic …
The Bayan Obo carbonatite-associated REE–Fe–Nb deposit in Northern China is the world's main supplier of REE, and also host a significant Nb resources of 2.2 Mt Nb 2 O 5 at an average grade of 0.13 % (Chao, 1997, Fan et al., 2016, Fig. 1).The Bayan Obo deposit exhibits a combination of characteristics of mantle-derived carbonatite and …

The giant Bayan Obo deposit in China represents the largest rare earth element (REE) resource in the world, but the mechanisms for its highly anomalous REE enrichment have long been controversial. The central debate concerns the nature and origin of the ore-hosting dolomite. In this study, a texturally constrained microanalytical study of ...
