Massive Iron Oxide-Apatite (IOA) Deposit Formation by Efficient Flotation of Magmatic Magnetite Suspensions: A Genetic Link Between IOA and IOCG Deposits?

The link between iron oxide-apatite (IOA, or “Kiruna-type”) and iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits remains controversial. Based on geochemical and isotopic data of magnetite from the Los Colorados IOA deposit in northern Chile, we report compelling ev
