History Iron mining activity in the New Jersey Highlands pro bably began about 1710 (Sims, 1958). Maximum pro duction was attained in the early 1880's when New Jersey ranked second only to Michigan in iron ore pro duction. For several years before and during 1880 New Jersey was the leading iron ore producing state. Geologic Setting

Abstract The iron formation of Bonai-Keonjhar belt, Keonjhar district of Odisha comprises a promising horizon of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) which is situated in the western flank of North Odisha Iron Ore Craton (NOIC). In this investigation, major, trace and REE chemistry of the Banded Iron Formation of the area are utilized to interpret the source of metals …
high-grade iron ores formed along steep normal faults (Taylor et al, 2001). Ore formation can be ascribed to leaching of silica (chert) from iron-formations and recrystallisation of other iron mineral
The history of Iron and Steel begins in Space. There's no oxygen in space so meteors delivered this material to earth in a form humans could use without having the technology to extract it from it's ore. It could be said that the …
The Mineville district produced two distinct varieties of iron ore (Birkinbine 1890): magnetite-apatite and magnetite-silicate ore. The magnetite-apatite ore was produced from what was called the "Old Bed" and the magnetite-silicate ore came from the "New Bed". These names were applied to the ore mined from different mining works.
The origin of these so-called "Kiruna-type" deposits is controversial, but a recent laboratory study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that some of these iron ore deposits could have formed from magma through the separation of immiscible liquids — some containing iron and some not — as the molten rock cooled.
The discovery of the origin of iron in the Iron Springs mining district of southwestern Utah is a story of unconventional thinking based on detailed geologic mapping.

Introduction. The origin of orebodies composed of low-Ti iron oxide minerals (magnetite and/or hematite) and apatite in (sub)volcanic rocks is controversial 1 – 12.These rocks, essentially free of silicates and sufficiently enriched in Fe to be recoverable, have been classified as Kiruna-type or iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits 1 – 3.Their enrichment in Fe and P has …
