(1) Classification by Mineral Composition

Single Mineral - Barite Ore

The ore contains 80%~98% BaSO₄, with very few associated minerals.

Quartz - Barite Ore

The ore is composed of barite and quartz, with quartz comprising 30%~45% of the ore.

Fluorite - Barite Ore

The main minerals are fluorite and barite, with other associated minerals including quartz and calcite.

Sulfide - Barite Ore

Mainly composed of barite and iron sulfide, copper sulfide, zinc sulfide, and lead sulfide. Other associated minerals include quartz, calcite, and fluorite.

 Iron-barite deposits:

mainly composed of barite and iron minerals (magnetite, hematite, goethite, etc.), with other associated minerals including quartz and calcite. 

Sandy-barite deposits:

the ore contains varying amounts of clay, rock fragments, and single-mineral barite fragments. 

(2) Classification by deposit type

sedimentary, weathering (residual slope) type, volcanic-sedimentary type, hydrothermal type, stratabound (endogenic) type.
