Iron Ore is a type of rock that contains iron minerals, mainly hematite and magnetite. It is a vital raw material for the production of steel. The ores are rich in iron oxides, which range in colour from dark grey to bright yellow to deep purple to rusty red. The most common iron minerals are magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite, and ...
Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and iron ore deposit occupy three distinct provinces surrounding the North Odisha Iron Ore Craton (NOIOC) located in eastern India. They are Bonai-Keonjhar belt in the western flank, Badampahar-Gorumahisani-Suleipat belt in the eastern flank and Daitari-Tomka belt in the southern side of the Craton. All these three …

The Precambrian geological history of the Peninsular India spans three billion years. The Precambrian shield comprises of Archean cratons, Proterozoic mobile belts and shear zones, and continental rifts such as Narmada-Son, Godavari and the Mahanadi Rifts (Figs. 2 and 3).The cratonisation of India was polyphase, and a stable configuration of …
All of the three greenstone terrains contain banded iron formation (BIF) hosted Fe ores, whereas phyllite hosted sedimentary Mn ores occur only in the western greenstone terrain. The magmatic Fe-Ti oxide ores occur within gabbro-anorthosite of …
Cu, U, REE and P ores of the Singhbhum Shear Zone (SSZ) The SSZ is considered to contain some of the biggest U-Cu deposits of India. Sarkar and Gupta (2012) estimated ~45000 tonnes of U in low grade (0.01-0.1 wt. % U 3 O 8) U ores and ~2.75 million tonnes of Cu in high-grade (1.4 wt. % Cu) Cu ores in the SSZ at present.
Introduction. The Bonai-Keonjhar iron ore belt (BK belt) is known for its rich deposits of high-grade hematitic iron ore, primarily consisting of Banded Iron Formation (BIF). This region also consists of distinct occurrences of brecciated and detrital iron deposits as limited dispositions.
Here is a list of top twelve stratigraphical systems developed in India. 1. The Archean Groups: . Broadly speaking, all those rocks that are the oldest, have absolutely no evidence of existence of life (in terms of fossils) and undoubtedly form the basic, foundation rocks for all the subsequent formations in Indian stratigraphy are grouped together as Archean.
AI-enhanced description. Pramoda Raj. India has significant iron ore deposits distributed across several states. The major types of iron ore formations in India are banded iron formations from the Precambrian era and laterite ores derived from sub-aerial weathering. The key iron ore minerals are magnetite, hematite, siderite and limonite.
The Gorumahisani Badampahar belt belonging to Iron Ore Group (IOG) in the Singhbhum Craton is typically known to comprise low grade green schist facies metasedimentary rocks.
ore deposits has been evolved as the highest iron ore producing state in India. Banded iron formations form a major component of the Precambrian greenstone belts and similar supracrustals the world over [1], [2], which hosts the iron ores in Odisha. The three iron ore groups structuring Iron Ore Super Group (IOSG) [3]-[7] are confined to the ...
Major iron ore deposits in India occur in Singhbhum district (Jharkhand), Keonjhar district (Orissa), Bellary district (Karnataka), Bastar district (Chhatisgarh) and Goa. The different textural types of iron ore within the deposits are (a) massive ore (b) laminated ore and …
2. Geological background. The Daitari Greenstone Belt is situated near the southern margin of the Singhbhum craton (Fig. 1).Formerly known as the Southern Iron Ore Group or Daitari–Tomka Basin, it is intruded by granitoids and unconformably overlain by the ≤ 3.0 Ga old quartzite-conglomerate succession of the Mahagiri sedimentary …
The Keonjhar siliciclastics are ~715-m thick mature arenite-dominated Mesoarchean succession that unconformably overlies Paleo-Mesoarchean granite-greenstone core of the Singhbhum craton. The succession is mapped on 1:50,000 scale, and is designated as …

Abstract The Bailadila Group of the Bastar Craton, India, is host to a 200-m-thick banded iron formation (BIF). We document the lithostratigraphic context for the BIF, informally referred to as the Bose iron formation, and provide radiometric constraints for its depositional age. Field evidence illustrates that the BIF was deposited on an inner-shelf …

In the Precambrian Singhbhum stratigraphy, some enigmatic aspects exist as regards to Dangoaposi and Jagannathpur lavas. The existing enigma embodies locational aspects of these lavas, structural characteristics, stratigraphic position, and geochemical affinities. Based on recent field studies by the authors and knowledge …
Precambrian basins preserved on the Aravalli basement exhibit an unusual association of three major basin-fills, each succeeded by an orogeny over the period 2.2–0.85 Ga, in which rift-type depositories exhibit stable platform-style sedimentation in each case.
In India most of the Proterozoic iron ore deposits are stratiform and hematitic like the rest of the world. The planar features of the ore bodies are parallel to bedding of BIF. ... (bore holes hardly go beyond the bottom of ore bodies) a sequence stratigraphy has been attempted on a rather wide canvas that needs further fine- tuning continuously.
