In the northern Fennoscandian Shield, vanadium mineralization occurs in the Paleoproterozoic Pechenga⁻Imandra-Varzuga (PIV) riftogenic structure. It is localized in sulfide ores hosted by sheared basic and ultrabasic metavolcanics in the Pyrrhotite Ravine and Bragino areas and was formed at the late...
