Abstract Based on field geology,hand specimens,distribution characteristics of underlying strata,and thickness of orebody and ore beds,we conducted a comprehensive analysis on the palaeogeography and its relationship with the mineralization process of bauxite in Wuchuan-Zheng′an-Daozhen area, northern Guizhou Province. The results showed that:(1)The sedimentary basin of bauxite is bounded by Wulong area on the north, by Nanchuan area on the northwest, by Yanhe area on the east,and by Suiyang-Fenggang area on the south; (2)The south part of the basin had a higher ancient landform than the north,and the sedimentary environment of bauxite was composed by partly closed bay and shoreland glade,and the good-quality bauxite was almost in the shoreland glade;(3)Sedimentary palaeogeography controlled the thickness of ore beds but not directly controlled the forming of high-grade bauxite.Sedimentary palaeogeography indirectly controlled the forming of high-grade bauxite by controlling sedimentary environment of bauxite when other factors were beneficial.
