Published online: 11 December 2015 An assemblage of magnetite and apatite is common worldwide in different ore deposit types, including disparate members of the iron-oxide copper–gold (IOCG) clan. The Kiruna-type iron oxide-apatite deposits, a subtype of the IOCG family, are recognized as economic t...
