Genesis of Magnetite Deposits I N the Iron Mask
نویسنده
چکیده
Significant magnetite, in the form of dyke-like lodes (Cockfield. 1948). occurs in close spatial relationship to copper deposits such as the Afton mine. The genetic relationship of these massive magnetite lodes to the copper deposits of the Iron Mask is unknown, as i s the origin of the magnetite deposits. However, the proximity of these deposits to magnetite-rich intrusive units of the Iron Mask batholith suggests that they might be magmatic injection deposits. The three main objectives of this study, therefore, are to: I11 determine the origin of the magnetite lodes, (2) determine which intrusive unit they originated from if they are magmatic, (3) determine if relationships exist between magnetite deposits and copper mineralization.

متن کاملChromespinel and Magnetite as Indicators for Recognition of Genesis and History of Serpentinites in Baft Ophiolite Mélange (Kerman Province in Iran)
Baft ophiolite mélange is a part of Naein-Baft ophiolite (southeast of Kerman province in Iran). Serpentinites from Baft ophiolite mélange contain different types of spinels such as chromite, chromespinel, ferritchromite and magnetite which can reveal different stages of evolution in host serpentinites. The compositions of Baft chromites show that they belong to podiform chromitites that may ha...
متن کاملThe relation between iron-formation and low temperature hydrothermal alteration in an Archean volcanic environment
The uppermost section of the Hunter Mine group (HMG) (2728 Ma), a bimodal volcanic complex in the Abitibi greenstone belt, contains both oxide and carbonate facies banded iron-formation (BIF). This paper explores the relationship between volcanic activity and the development of the two types of iron-formation. The oxide facies, represented by chert-jasper-magnetite iron-formation is widespread ...

The Qaleh-Zari specularite- rich Cu-Au-Ag deposit is located 180 Km south of Birjand. Host rocks are mainly Tertiary andesites and andesitic basalts and some Jurassic shales and sandstones. Andesitic rocks from the western region of Qaleh-Zari were dated to 40.5±2 Ma. Four trends of faults and joints are identified in the mine area. The oldest is mineralized. Three major sub-parallel quartz ve...
