Abstract - The El Laco magnetite-apatite ore deposits in the Andean Cordillera of northern Chile occur as massive, tabular bodies, as stratified, pyroclastic ores, and as crosscutting dykes...
Another typical example is the Xishimen iron deposit, which is located in the South of Hebei Province, China. It has been considered as a skarn-type iron deposit conventionally. However, many geological evidence suggests that Xishimen iron deposit is a magmatic iron deposit instead. Such evidence includes: 1.
Mineral deposit - Magmatic Cumulates: Magmatic segregation is a general term referring to any process by which one or more minerals become locally concentrated (segregated) during the cooling and crystallization of a magma. Rocks formed as a result of magmatic segregation are called magmatic cumulates. While a magma may start as a …
δ 34 S CDT values of colloform pyrite from the Jinshandian skarn iron deposit range from 17.22‰ to 20.63‰ and are substantially higher than those of sulfur compositions of magmatic–hydrothermal fluid (−3‰ to +1‰) (Field and Gustafson, 1976, Shelton and Rye, 1982). These values indicate that Jinshandian colloform pyrite was not ...
General outline of the iron deposits in relation to magmatism. The iron ore-related magmatic suites in China exhibit a compositional spectrum from mafic–ultramafic …
Iron oxide–apatite (IOA or Kiruna-type) deposits typically consist of a magnetite-apatite-actinolite/diopside assemblage and are spatially associated with extensive Na-(Ca) alteration and brecciation. The origin of these deposits is highly controversial and has been ascribed to the separation of iron-oxide/sulfate-(carbonate) …
