Banded Iron Formations BIFs are distinctive units of sedimentary rocks composed of alternating layers of iron rich minerals mainly hematite and magnetite and silica rich minerals like chert or quartz The name "banded" comes from the alternating bands of different compositions creating a layered appearance BIFs often also contain other minerals
High grade metamorphism of banded iron formations the role of saline fluids in promoting the growth of pyroxene and garnet reaction textures along magnetite quartz grain boundaries

magnetite banding separated by iron magnesium silicate and primary silica This sub vertical package with typical thickness around 40m to 60m is made up of banded magnetite separated by strata of amphibolite waste rock Assays taken during exploration drilling showed little or no variation in iron
For ins tance both granular and banded magnetite forms in places are oxidized along periph eries and octahedral planes into light grey martite
The main discriminator elements for magnetite are Mg Al Ti V Cr Mn Co Ni Zn and Ga These elements are commonly present at detectable levels 10 to > 1000 ppm and display systematic propose a combination of Ni/ Cr Mn vs Ti V Al Mn vs Ti V Ti/V and Sn/Ga discriminant plots and upper threshold concentrations to discriminate
Metamorphosed banded iron formation BIF in granulite amphibolite facies tonalitic orthogneisses from a series of locations in the Kolli Massif of southern India are described and analysed with regard to their lithologies whole rock chemistry mineral reaction textures and mineral chemistry On the basis of their mineral reaction textures along magnetite quartz grain

The magnetite crystals are variable in grain size 1 100 µm and commonly form more or less continuous seams up to 1 cm thick that are broadly parallel with sedimentary bedding although cross cutting magnetite veinlets are common Magnetite crystals and aggregates tend to overprint and destroy earlier phases and textures

Field photos of a BIF outcrop at Nabeba showing minor folding of the alternating hematite and chert layers; b oxide facies BIF showing the fine alternating layers of chert and iron oxides
Therefore pelletization of synthesized magnetite concentrate obtained from the magnetization roasting of BHQ emerged as an alternative energy saving and ore conserving process that may be scaled
is banded and foliated in nature and occur as elongated mega enclaves associated with Banded Magnetite Quartzite BMQ quartzite and biotite sericite schist in granitoids The other amphibolite is massive in nature and occurs as ENE WSW trending metamorphosed basic intrusive bodies which are exposed over a stretch of 8 10 km length and
Given that magnetite has an inverse spinel structure with the general stoichiometry of Fe 2 Fe 2 3 O 4 2 − trace elements can partially substitute for Fe 2 or Fe 3 in this structure Zn Ni Co Cr V etc leading to magnetite with different characteristic trace elemental concentrations Dupuis and Beaudoin 2011; Nadoll et al 2014 For example
future are limited to lean ores such as banded hematite quartzite BHQ banded hematite jasper BHJ and banded magnetite quartzite BMQ These ores contain averagely 30wt% 40wt% Fe The formation of these ores are the result of residual concentration of iron contained in banded iron formation either through replacement of silica by iron or by
The magnetite in metamorphosed BIF is modified locally fragmented and forms millimeter to micrometer scale bands The apatite is present surrounding or intergrowing with magnetite has corroded surfaces and contains irregular impurities and fluid inclusions indicating that it has been partly hydrothermally altered
The pseudomorphic transformation of magnetite into hematite martitization is widespread in geological environments but the process and mechanism of this transformation is still not fully understood Micro and nano scale techniques—scanning electron microscopy focused ion bean transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy—were used in

Magnetite apatite ore deposits are interpreted as being formed by the crystallization of iron rich ultrabasic melts dominantly generated by the interaction of silicate melts with oxidized P F SO4 bearing sedimentary rocks This hypothesis is supported by geologic evidence experimental studies numerical modeling stable and radiogenic isotope
