M ller et al. (2005) have presented important new age data for mafic intrusions in the Hamersley province of Western Australia, which they use to constrain the ages of the Ophthalmian orogeny and giant iron-ore deposits
Hematite (Iron-Oxide) is traditionally regarded as the primary ore mined for the production of Iron, although the mineral Magnetite is also now heavily mined for its Iron content. Originally named by Theophrastus (approx 300-325 BCE) from the Greek words ‘aematitis lithos’, meaning ‘blood-stone’. It may possibly be the first mineral ever named ending with a ‘-ite’ suffix
Jun 15, 2003 The Hamersley Province of Western Australia contains numerous economic deposits of iron ore where millimetre to centimetre scale magnetite and chert layers of Proterozoic banded iron-formation (BIF) have been converted to oxidized iron minerals (Harmsworth et al., 1990).Collectively, these deposits produce approximately 100 Mt/year of

Western Australia accounts for 97 per cent of Australia's iron ore production, which is extracted from open-cut mines located mostly in the Pilbara region in the north west of the state. After being blasted off the working face, iron ore is crushed and screened to produce rock lumps (greater than 5 mm) or fines (less than 5 mm), and then

Jul 04, 2019 Hematite ores are always hosted by the Brockman Iron Formation, and ore formation resulted from a multistage, sequential removal of gangue minerals from the host, giving rise to residual concentration of iron. The first, hypogene, stage of ore formation removed silica only, leaving a thinned residue enriched in iron oxides, carbonates
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4, 72.4% Fe), hematite (Fe 2 O 3, 69.9% Fe), goethite (FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe), limonite (FeO(OH) n(H 2 O), 55% Fe) or

Iron ore is a mineral substance which, when heated in the presence of a reductant, will yield metallic iron (Fe). It almost always consists of iron oxides, the primary forms of which are magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) and hematite (Fe 2 O 3 ). Iron ore is the source of primary iron for the world's iron and steel industries
