Iron oxide - apatite (IOA) deposits are magnetite- and apatite-rich rock assemblages that are hosted by intermediate to felsic magmatic rocks, and are frequently mined for iron. The geological formation mechanisms of IOA deposits were suggested to involve either high-temperature silicate, iron oxide...
