Examples of carbonate-bearing fluorapatite rocks from the studied localities. a Excavated unconsolidated, loose, apatite francolite regolith, and b sampled 'hard apatite francolite regolith subtype' (terminology after Vartiainen 1989) from Sokli. c Carbonate-bearing fluorapatite at Kovdor, with cream-white colloform apatite forming on top of a …
Abstract The 2060 Ma old Palabora Carbonatite Complex (PCC), South Africa, comprises diverse REE mineral assemblages formed during different stages and reflects an outstanding instance to understand the evolution of a carbonatite-related REE mineralization from orthomagmatic to late-magmatic stages and their secondary post …
Apatite fission track analysis of gneiss samples across the Knersvlakte plain in the coastal area of western South Africa reveals the existence of a relatively deeply incised paleovalley flanked by high ridges formed during the Mid Cretaceous. This paleovalley coincides with the present course of the Krom River through the Great …
7. Brazil. Mine production: 5.5 million MT. Brazil, another of the top phosphate countries by production, produced 5.5 million MT of phosphate in 2022 compared to 6 million MT in 2021. Brazil has ...
In South Africa, apatite ore is the most common source of phosphate rock and has been mined since the mid-1900s in Phalaborwa, Limpopo (DMR, 2008). Also abundant in South Africa are sedimentary deposits of marine phosphorites along the west coast and in KwaZulu-Natal (DMR, 2008). Foskor Limited, a key player in the South African phosphate
We present a synthesis of a large array of titanite, zircon and apatite fission track and (U-Th-Sm)/He analyses (12 TFT, 12 THe, 32 ZFT, 392 ZHe, 465 AFT and 267 AHe) from across northeast Africa ...
The apatite deposits in Russia's Kola Peninsula are associated with nepheline– seyenite. Carbonatite deposits that are mined for their phosphate content include Siilinjarvi in Finland, Jacupiranga and Araxa in Brazil, Phalaborwa in South Africa, and Kapuskasing in Canada. By-product recovery from igneous phosphate ores is …
Kimberlitic magmaclasts are discrete ovoid magmatic fragments that formed prior to emplacement from disrupted kimberlite magma. To provide new constraints on the origin and evolution of the kimberlite melts, we document the mineralogy and petrography of a magmaclast recovered from one of the ca. 520 Ma Venetia kimberlites, South …

The nepheline syenites of the Pilansberg alkaline complex (South Africa) have undergone extensive subsolidus equilibration and alteration with a deuteric Cl- and Na-rich fluid phase. Complex assemblages of secondary minerals result from the replacement of primary alummosilicates, rinkite, eudialyte and fluorapatite.

The phosphates are predominantly fluorapatite with typical magmatic apatite REE distribution patterns. Imaging at the micro- and nanoscales indicates that they partially preserve the signature of igneous origin. ...

The mineral proportions clearly point out considerable fluorite (≥804 kt) and apatite (≥742 kt) resources, with potential by-products of Nb and REE based on drilling data. The readily available material in combination with a high proportion (about 80%) of liberated fluorite are favourable for re-processing by locally available flotation ...
The phosphorites reported were recovered from the con tinental margin of South Africa off Cape Town and Saldanha Bay (Fig. 1) at water depths of 350 (sample GB1), between …
The Phalaborwa world-class phosphate deposit (South Africa) is hosted by a Paleoproterozoic alkaline complex mainly composed of phoscorite, carbonatite, pyroxenitic rocks, and subordinate...
Proudly South African supplier of phosphate. Prior to 1953 South Africa imported all of its phosphate needs in the form of phosphate rock from Morocco. During the Second World War, the importation of phosphates came to a standstill for three years, which is also the half-life of phosphatic fertiliser in the soil.

Provenance variations include a shift with time in the major age populations from ca. 900 Ma to 600 Ma with a decrease in metamorphic apatite (from 72% to 52% of all grains) in the late Cryogenian, an increase in high-grade metamorphic apatite (from 27% to 56%) in the late Ediacaran−Cambrian, and an increase in igneous apatite (from 33% to …
Phalaborwa in South Africa, and Kapuskasing Canada. By-product recovery from igneous phosphate ores is common. Nepheline (NaA1Si0 4) is recovered from the Russian ore, calcite from the Finnish copper con centrate and baddelyite (Zr0 2) from the South African ore, and barite from Brazilian ore. A minor percentage of the world's phosphate

Results. Estimates of annual median South African phosphate levels are presented in Figure 2. It can be seen that dissolved phosphate levels in South Africa showed an increasing trend that peaked around 2007, whereafter levels decreased to a level comparable to levels encountered during the 1980s.
