The San Manuel magnesian skarn is an iron deposit hosted in dolomitic marbles from a tectonic slice imbricated within the Ronda peridotites, westernmost part of Betic Cordillera, Spain. According to dominant mineral assemblage, subdivided into three different zones, (1) forsterite ± calcite skarn, (2) chlorite serpentine and (3) Ca-amphibole skarn. main ore ? 2.5 m thick, massive body situated ...

In order to pursue the goal of low-carbon ironmaking, a new type humic acid (HA)-based binder was applied preparation oxidized pellets from vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite (VTM) in this work. Effects HA (or with limestone) on balling, preheating, and roasting behaviors VTM were comparatively studied bentonite. The embedded features each mineral phase sintered pellets, especially crystallizatio...

Abstract Petrological analysis of the 2020–21 La Soufrière lava dome reveals ubiquitous oxidation textures. Comparison natural rock to subsequent explosive scoria phases highlights lack any features in latter, indicating that processes affected only dome-forming magma, either during pre-eruptive storage or upon emplacement. To investigate causes we present a series one-atmosphere experiments, u...

Undoubtedly, involving more tools, datasets, and techniques for detecting the mineralized areas sharply narrow zones to be investigated delivered, in most cases highly potential zones. Consequently, this study is an attempt apply remote sensing data including Sentinel 2 ASTER, field observations, petrography of hydrothermal alteration processes, ore microscopic investigations, X-ray examination...
