The formation of iron oxide apatite (IOA) and iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits and their relation to each other is currently strongly debated. Recent characterization of the polyphase Svecokarelian orogeny in the northern Norrbotten ore province provides a tectonic framework that can be used t...
