Giant kiruna-type deposits form by efficient flotation of magmatic magnetite suspensions

Kiruna-type iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits are an important source of Fe ore, and two radically different processes are being actively investigated for their origin. One hypothesis invokes direct crystallization of immiscible Fe-rich melt that separat
