as well as the iron content of the rock, determine whether the deposit is classified as an Iron Ore or an "iron-bearing material".Hence the definition of the term 'Iron Ore' varies with time and place. The friability of the ore is often a major consideration as good blast furnace operation requires well sized, raw material with a high

Sedimentary layers are called strata. Strata form the stratigraphic record of the basin. The word stratigraphy comes from Latin roots that can literally be translated as "layer writing.". Weathered sediments are eroded into basins and deposited in laterally extensive, horizontal layers. These strata form bedding and beds.
The Western Iron Ore basin hosts almost all the major high-grade iron ore deposits of eastern India. Contrary to the established view, present analysis emphasizes that the horseshoe fold in reality is a synclinorium consisting of a syncline–anticline fold pair which were later cross-folded along an …
Figure shows stratigraphy of the iron ore deposits and location of the rock samples and cores. In Abu Subeira and its surroundings, the ore deposits, as observed in the exposed sections, exist in two beds (B1) and (B2) of the upper zone which are separated by ferruginous sandy clay and are located at about 80 m depth (Youssef 2018).
In this study, Landsat 8 OLI data were used to map the mineralised units related to iron ore deposits in and around the Veerapunayunipalli and Pendlimarri …
Mineral deposit - Iron Ore, Ore Bodies, Mining: By far the most important metal from an economic and technical point of view is iron. Sedimentary iron deposits, from which almost all iron is obtained, can therefore be viewed as one of the world's great mineral treasures. There are two major types of deposit. The first, and by far the most …

ADVERTISEMENTS: The Iron Ore Super-group-bearing northern Orissa is separated from Talchir Gondwana rocks and Eastern Ghat Super-group by Sukinda Thrust zone (northern fault of Gondwana basin). The iron ore district of Orissa-Jharkhand is, thus, confined to the Singhbhum-Sukinda thrust belts in the north and south (Figure 5.1).

These deposits display differing styles and textures of mineralization and alteration types. Deposits may contain either or both disseminated, generally fine-grained sulfides and vein-hosted, generally coarse-grained sulfides.
