Therefore, it can be concluded that the iron ore in the present area of investigation belongs to metamorphosed sedimentary type deposits. The paper discusses the
The Dunde iron–zinc deposit (185 Mt at 35% Fe), located in the Tianshan orogenic belt, Xinjiang, northwest China, is hosted in late Carboniferous volcanic–volcaniclastic rocks characterized by prograde skarn formation and retrograde alteration, but the ore lacks any clear spatial link with intrusive rocks.Four stages of …

Mineralogical-geochemical features of different facies types of sedimentary iron ore deposits are described. Particular attention is paid to deposits associated with the weathering crusts of ultramafic igneous rocks and to marine oolitic iron ores. The multistage formation of their geochemical properties is proved available geochemical …
The ca. 2008 Ma dikes pre s ent a new maximum age for iron-ore genesis and deposition of the Upper Wyloo Group, thereby linking ore genesis to a ca. 2050–2000 Ma period of continental extension similarly recorded by Paleoproterozoic terrains worldwide well after the initial oxidation of the atmosphere by ca. 2320 Ma.
Cobalt (Co) is a chemical element with the atomic number 27 and an atomic mass of 58.93 g/mol. It is a hard, brittle, and silver-gray metal that belongs to the transition metals group in the periodic table. Cobalt has a high melting point, excellent magnetic properties, and is known for its blue color when used as a pigment in glass and ceramics.
The Wutonggou iron deposit is located in the well-known iron metallogenic belt in the eastern Tianshan, NW China, and has been regarded as a sedimentary iron deposit.

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 …
