Mineral chemistry of magnetite and accessory phases from El Romeral iron oxide-apatite deposit, Chile
Iron oxide-apatite (IOA) or “Kiruna-type” deposits are an important source of Fe, P, REE, among other essential elements for society. Three main hypotheses have been proposed to explain the genesis of these controversial deposits, which invoke liquid immiscibility, hydrothermal replacement or a magm...

Summary: | Iron oxide-apatite (IOA) or “Kiruna-type” deposits are an important source of Fe, P, REE, among other essential elements for society. Three main hypotheses have been proposed to explain the genesis of these controversial deposits, which invoke liquid immiscibility, hydrothermal replacement or a magmatic-hydrothermal origin driven by flotation of magnetite-bubble pairs. |
