This paper is the result of mineral exploration engineering.[Objective] The geological characteristics, genesis and deposit types of Shuitou fluorite deposit are systematically studied to fully and rationally develop and utilize its resources. [Methods] Based on the analysis of the geological characteristics, ore genesis and current situation of ore development-utilization, we summarized ore types and development-utilization value of Shuitou fluorite deposit. [Results] Shuitou large fluorite deposit was formed in the early Cretaceous, which ore bodies mainly existed in the upper Permain Linxi Formation tuffaceous siltstone. It’s a fault-control, medium-low-temperature hydrothermal, fracture-filling type deposit. The reserve resources/reserves of fluorite ores are 1700.48 kt, with a CaF₂ average grade 62.27% and CaF₂ mineral content of 1058864 t. The spectral analysis shows that useful component is CaF₂, and the ore has good floatability and belongs to the easy separation ore. Fluorite concentrate with CaF₂ grade 97.56% and recovery rate 87.07% can be obtained by one state rougher, two states scavenger and four states cleaner. [Conclusions] The comprehensive analysis indicate that Shuitou large fluorite deposit has good development-utilization value.
