What is Magnetite? Magnetite is an iron mineral, specifically, it's an oxidized form of a balanced blend of iron ions. It contains both divalent (Fe²+) ions and trivalent …
The low trace element content in Kiruna magnetite ore samples could also reflect a hydrothermal origin or an overprint by metasomatic processes as suggested by Broughm et al. . Magnetite formation conditions. The data presented in this study reflect the evolution of the Cerro Negro Norte deposit.

The uncertainty on the ore genesis is most likely due to the lack of detailed understanding in the metallogenic process. As the major ore mineral, magnetite is widespread in this deposit, thus its textural and compositional characteristics would provide direct constraints on the source of iron and discriminated information for the ore genesis.
Magnetite ore has established a presence in world production and contributes to Australia's EDR of iron ore, largely from established operations such as Savage River in Tasmania, Sino Iron in the Pilbara and from other magnetite resource deposits in Western Australia and South Australia.
To resolve this issue, we present a user-friendly, GeoLasPro-based method of trace element mapping and data reduction for magnetite, using the Beiya magnetite as a case study.High-resolution 2D/3D trace element mapping and modeling are combined with existing nano-mineralogy and EPMA major element analysis, on the purpose of …
The Mahura iron placer deposit is located 55 km northeast of Arak city in the Markazi province, Iran. From a geological point of view, it is located in the Central Iran Zone. In this study, the trace element geochemistry of magnetite is used to determine the origin of placer magnetites in the Mahura deposit. Magnetite is the most important …
Differences between hematite, magnetite, and other iron ore minerals. Hematite, magnetite, and other iron ore minerals differ in several key aspects, including their chemical composition, crystal structure, physical properties, and occurrences.
General Magnetite Information Chemical Formula: Fe++Fe+++2O4 Composition: Molecular Weight = 231.54 gm
Compatible trace elements mainly substitute into the crystal lattice of magnetite and pyrite via isomorphism, whereas incompatible trace elements occur as sub-micro-scale silicate inclusions.

The Makeng iron deposit in southwest Fujian is a significant iron polymetallic deposit containing various types of iron ore, including garnet magnetite, diopside magnetite, and quartz magnetite. The metallogenetic type of the deposit has been a subject of debate, particularly in relation to the genesis of magnetite and the source of …

Iron oxide–apatite ore deposits are a key source of iron and contain a number of critical technology metals needed for the sustainable energy transition. This Review explores the hydrothermal ...
In this paper, we present new petrographic description and LA-ICP-MS trace elemental data of the Talate magnetite, with the purpose of trying to understand the magnetite genesis and nature of the late skarn and quartz-magnetite stages ore forming fluids and constrain the physicochemical conditions before the deposition of the Pb-Zn …
Previous studies focusing on the chemical classification of mineral deposits using magnetite trace elements have commonly employed binary or ternary discriminant maps, typically based on magnetite trace element abundance or element ratios.
The results indicated that the ore-forming processes in Gwanin Fe-Ti oxide deposit were governed by magmatic processes. The magnetite from biotite-bearing ore showed slightly lower Ti concentration and depleted HFSEs compositions trace elements than the other ore types, corresponding to lower temperature with relatively consistent …
Detailed description, properties, and locality information guide about the magnetic mineral magnetite.
The application of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the quantitative analysis of major minerals in Bayan Obo magnetite ore was explored.
The Co/Ni ratio of pyrite grains in quartz veins varies between 1 and 12, and is consistent with a magmatic-hydrothermal origin for the ore fluid. Trace element distribution patterns in magnetite and pyrite indicate that As, Ni, Co, Cr, Mn and Cu were mostly locally derived, and remobilised into the pyrite during sulfidation of the host rock.
Today, human use of magnetite-rich rocks is diverse but dominated by iron ore production for steel-making, and as an iron source in catalysts used to make ammonia.
