The project main objectives are to: 1) geologically, characterize the setting and origin of the iron-copper-cobalt-gold-rare earth element deposits, and advance the knowledge of rare earth element and Co potential within iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits of southeast Missouri, and 2) geophysically delineate and characterize the subsurface Precambrian …
Magnetite is a common accessory mineral and forms over a wide range of geologic conditions (sedimentary, magmatic or hydrothermal) and can incorporate various trace elements in its cubic spinel structure (Dare et al., 2014, Dupuis and Beaudoin, 2011, Nadoll et al., 2012).In-situ magnetite analysis and comparison between magmatic and hydrothermal magnetite …
We have characterized the distribution of 25 trace elements in magnetite (Mg, Al, Si, P, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Hf, Ta, W, and Pb), using laser ablation ICP-MS and electron microprobe, from a variety of magmatic and hydrothermal ore-forming environments and compared them with data from the literature. We propose a new …
The trace element composition of primary magnetite from 2 samples of the Newcastle Porphyry provides an important comparison to magnetite from calcic Fe skarn and massive magnetite. For example, the concentrations of Ti, Al, V, Cr, and Ni in porphyry samples average 10,500, 16,500, 3000, 160, and 18 ppm, respectively.
Magnetite geochemistry is crucial for the discrimination of ore deposit genetic type. Traditional two-dimensional discrimination diagrams based on particular data for limited deposits cannot meet the requirements of high-precision classification. The continuous compilation of magnetite geochemical big data and high-precision machine learning …
The subtle variations of trace element concentrations within a magnetite grain and between the magnetite grains in the same sample probably indicate local inhomogeneity of ore–forming fluids. The variations of Co in magnetite between samples are probably due to the mineral proportion of magnetite and pyrite.

The temperature (T) and oxygen fugacity (fO 2) dependence of minor and trace elements (Mg, Al, Mn, Cr, Ni) in magnetite (Mag) in equilibrium with water-bearing silicate liquids varying in composition from basalt to rhyolite (49–77 wt% SiO 2) is examined in a compilation of experimental data (n = 299) from 700 to 1050 °C, 50–900 MPa and five order of magnitude …
Minor and trace element compositions of magnetite in these samples are similar to magnetite from igneous rocks and magmatic-hydrothermal systems. Magnetite grains from deeper zones of the orebodies contain >1 wt % titanium, as well as ilmenite oxyexsolution lamellae and interstitial ilmenite. ...

The Bipindi iron ore district is located in the central section of the Nyong Complex at the northwestern margin of the Congo Craton in Southwest Cameroon. This iron district contains numerous iron mineralization hosted by the Mewongo, Bibole, Kouambo, and Zambi banded iron formations (BIFs). These BIFs contain magnetite as the main iron ore mineral …

Which of the ores mentioned can be concentrated by magnetic separation method? Write the names and chemical formulae of any 'two' minerals of aluminium.
1. Introduction. Pyrite (FeS 2) is one of the most common reducing minerals and is widely found in various rock types in the Earth's crust.Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4), an oxide, is also ubiquitous in various types of rocks and mineral deposits.Both minerals can preserve the historical evidence of ore body evolution from initial deposition to later deformation and metamorphism, …
This paper explores the geological relationships, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics, and quantitative elemental mass balance constraints of the hydrothermal alteration zones within the uraniferous Surda copper deposit in the Singhbhum Shear Zone in eastern India, which is affiliated with an iron oxide–copper–gold system.

Magnetite is the most common ore mineral in magmatic and hydrothermal iron-rich deposits (e.g., Fe-Ti oxide, iron oxide copper gold (IOCG), porphyry, skarn, and iron oxide apatite (IOA or Kiruna-type)) (Dupuis and Beaudoin, 2011, Dare et al., 2012, Dare et al., 2014, Nadoll et al., 2014).The texture and geochemistry of magnetite vary considerably from different ore …
Magnetite is common in various magmatic and hydrothermal ore deposit types, and its trace element geochemistry has become increasingly used in ore genesis studies and mineral exploration. While fractional crystallization has been shown to influence the chemistry of igneous magnetite, the extent to which this process regulates the trace element ...
