山西素被誉称为‘煤铁之乡’,在它的辖区里有着各种成因类型和各时代的铁矿床。笔者由于几年来一直在山西工作,最近又参与了省地质矿产志的编撰,有可能较系统地整理和分析已有资料,从而能够在一些主要问题上获得了一些初步认识。因此,把这些资料和个人看法提出来,也许不是没有意义的。 Shanxi known as the ’hometown of iron and coal,’ in its area has a variety of genetic types and times of iron ore deposits. Since I have been working in Shanxi Province for several years, I recently participated in the compiling of provincial geology and mineral resources. It is possible to systematize and analyze the existing data so that I can get some preliminary understanding on some major issues. Therefore, it may not be meaningless to bring these data and personal opinions into consideration.
