Mineralogisk och mineralkemisk jämförelse mellan Rakkurijoki, Rakkurijärvi och förekomst av Discovery Zone FeOx, Kiruna Sverige
The investigated deposits, Rakkurijoki, Rakkurijarvi and Discovery Zone, are all located 6-8 km south-southwest of the currently mined Kiirunavaara AIO-deposit. Previous research in the three deposits has been very limited, where the most recent study focused on the Discovery Zone deposit. The main...

The investigated deposits, Rakkurijoki, Rakkurijarvi and Discovery Zone, are all located 6-8 km south-southwest of the currently mined Kiirunavaara AIO-deposit.
