Origin of the Surigao iron ores Economic Geology
The iron ore deposit of Surigao, Mindanao, Philippine islands, occurs as a surficial mantle over serpentinized ultrabasic rocks. The ore is lateritic in origin, having been derived by subaerial decomposition of the parent serpentine rock. The Surigao deposit resembles closely the lateritic iron ores of Mayari, Cuba.

Sedimentary rock - Iron-rich sedimentary rocks Britannica
These deposits constitute the world’s major source of iron ore. Classic examples are found in the Mesabi Range of Minnesota, U.S., and the Kiruna ores of Sweden. Ironstones are principally of Phanerozoic age, mainly Early Paleozoic (roughly 440 to 570 million years old) and Jurassic (about 144 to 208 million years old), but can be as old as ...

MoreTracing the genesis of skarn‐type iron deposit in central
The Handan–Xingtai region in the southern Taihang Mountains in central North China Craton hosts several skarn-type iron deposits. Here we investigate an ore-forming intrusion associated with a typical iron skarn deposit to explore the magmatic evolution from mineral zoning textures, and to constrain the ore genesis.

Involvement of Evaporite Layers in the Formation of Iron
2022年8月19日 Iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits are important sources of iron. The role of evaporite layers in the formation of IOA ore deposits remains controversial. The Luohe deposit in eastern China and the El Laco deposit in Chile are representative IOA deposits. In this study, the S isotope characteristics of these two deposits are revisited. The formation

Mineral Ore Deposits: Meaning, Origin and Types
16 小时之前 Introduction to Ore Deposits: Minerals form chief source of all the industrial metals and non-metals. The commonly used metals like aluminum, copper, iron, lead, zinc etc. are all manufactured using minerals as raw materials. Similarly non-metals like glass and refractories are also made from minerals. Minerals are also source of energy.

On the magmatic origin of iron ores of the Kiruna type
Abstract. Iron ores of the Kiruna type are unusual formations restricted both in time and space. They are principally found in the Precambrian of Sweden and Missouri. The purpose of the present paper is to summarize the features that characterize the ores and to discuss their origin. It is concluded that the ores are intrusive-magmatic.
