Apr 09 2015 · Geology Prospecting and Exploration for Iron Ore Deposits Iron has been known since antiquity Iron is ubiquitous in the lithosphere as either a major constituent or in trace amounts In abundance it ranks fourth behind oxygen silicon and aluminum Iron ores have a wide range of formation in geologic time as well as a wide geographic
Bog iron ore Iron ore consisting of hydrated iron oxide minerals such as limonite and goethite formed by precipitation of groundwater flowing into wetlands Bacterial action contributes to formation of the ore Economically useful deposits can regrow within 20 years after harvesting Bog iron was widely used as a source of iron in the past

Origin of iron ore by diagenetic replacement of calcareous oolite Formation and stratigraphic facies distribution of early Jurassic iron oolite deposits from west central Nevada USA
An ore is an economically exploitable mineral or an association of minerals rock Iron ore for example which is our main product occurs in its oxide carbonate sulphate and silicate forms The largest sources of iron ore on the planet are known as banded iron formations BIFs known
Origin Of Iron Ore Deposits The results confirm that highgrade hematite orebodies at the thabazimbi deposit owe their origin to an event of extensive oxidative carbonate metasomatism calcification similar to that recognised at other important highgrade iron ore deposits in the world hydrothermal ore formation is both structurally and

grade iron ore deposits in the Lake Superior region formed due to the oxidation and leaching of the primary iron formation Leith 1903 van Hise and Leith 1911 due to circulation of large volumes of fluids • These authors argued that enrichment was associated with downward percolation of groundwater after exposure of the iron formation
Jul 08 2017 · Probably due to large national land area and multiperiod orogeny from the view of metallogeny lots of iron deposits developed in China and the proven total reserves of iron ores are relatively abundant but mainly lowgrade ores For years China’s iron ore reserves are far from being able to meet the requirement of rapid development of steel industry
Cement is manufactured through a closely controlled chemical combination of calcium silicon aluminum iron and other ingredients Common materials used to manufacture cement include limestone shells and chalk or marl combined with shale clay slate blast furnace slag silica sand and iron ore
The highgrade ores formed as the Biwabik IronFormation was oxidized hydrated and leached by solutions flowing along open faults and fractures The source of the oreforming solutions has been debated since it was first proposed that the ores were weathering products formed by descending meteoritic groundwater flowing in late Mesozoic time
