The Anqiu-Lintong-Hanshan (Songguanhuan-style) ore cluster area includes the barite deposits in eastern Shandong, northern Jiangsu and central Anhui. The distribution of barite deposits is controlled by the Tanlu rift zone and is directly Distributed in or along the rift.

Most of the industrial deposits are produced in Mesozoic tectonic basins and their marginal zones. The ore bodies are mostly produced in the basic rocks of the Jurassic Laiyang Formation, the Cretaceous Qingshan Formation, basic alkaline volcanic rocks, the Wangs Formation sand shale, and Andes basalt. The ore veins are produced in secondary tensional tectonic fissures caused by the influence of fault zones. The mineralization age of the barite ore in the area is the late Mesozoic Late Cretaceous Yanshan, and the mineralization is related to the Cretaceous Laoshan acid intrusive body.

The typical deposit in the area is the Songguanyu Barite Mine in Anqiu, Shandong.

Southwest Fujian (Lifang-style) sedimentary barite ore cluster

There are few barite deposits and ore spots in the ore cluster area. The Lifang barite deposit is an independent deposit. Due to its large scale, it can represent a type of ore deposit and is divided into a ore cluster area. The ore cluster area is located at the junction of Yong'an and Mingxi, and the tectonic location is the southwestern edge of the Huaxia fold belt of the South China fold system. The Lower Cambrian Lintian Group is a barite ore-bearing rock series and a set of shallow marine fine clastic-chemical sedimentary rocks.

The tectonic line of the mining area is mainly northwest, and the Cambrian-Ordovician is generally a monoclinal rock stratum with a trend of southwest. The folds are simple, and there are three groups of northwest, northeast and east-west faults. In the mining area, there are early biotite granites from Yanshan, smaller diabase veins, and porphyry veins.

The typical deposit in the area is Fujian's Yongan Lifang Barite Deposit.

Guiyue (Pancun Style) Hydrothermal Barite Mine Concentration Area

The mining area is distributed in the Xiangzhou-Wuxuan and Yongfu-Linggui areas of Guangxi. The tectonic location is located on the west and south edges of the Dayao Mountain uplift. The ore body in the Devonian carbonate stratum is mainly filled with space with tensile faults. The occurrence and morphology of ore bodies have been the same as those of fractures. Most of the ore bodies are vein-like and appear in groups. Surrounding rock alteration shows low temperature characteristics, and silicification and carbonate formation are common.

Residual-slope accumulative barite deposits in the ore cluster are often accompanied by primary ore, and are more common in the Quaternary. Residual barite deposits are found in most barite deposits in the south.

The typical barite deposit in the area is the Pancun barite deposit in Xiangzhou County, Guangxi; the weathered residual slope type barite deposit in Guangxi Xiangzhou Sicun barite deposit.

Mount Xietieshan-Jingtieshan-Qingtongxia (Jingtieshan-type) volcano-sedimentary barite ore cluster

The mining area is located in Gansu Province, and the tectonic location is the northern Qilian superior trough. The barite deposits in this area are mainly of volcanic type, and the second type is hydrothermal type. The volcano-sedimentation type is produced in the excellent ground trough, and the barite is deposited in the siderite, specularite layer in the form of lens body, bands, and fine-fine particles. The hydrothermal barite deposits are all medium and small, and are produced in two structural environments: superior trough and underground trough.

Controlled by the fault zone, vein-shaped ore bodies are formed by filling.
