Gossan ore of sulfide zinc deposit contains abundant zinc, iron, and other metal elements, which is a significant resource with complex components can be utilized. In this study, new technology preparing ferrite from gossan was proposed. The effects Al2O3, CaO, SiO2 in on the formation were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), specific surface area pore s...

Introduction: Microbe-mineral interactions and biosignature preservation in oxidized sulfidic ore bodies (gossans) are prime candidates for astrobiological study. Such oxidized iron systems have been proposed as analogs for some Martian environments [1]. Recent studies identified microbial fossils preserved as mineral-coated filaments [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. This study documents microbially-mediated...

Gossan ore is typically abandoned after mining, which not only increases mining production costs but also wastes mineral resources, and its long-term accumulation can easily lead to environmental pollution hazards. Therefore, this paper takes zinc-containing gossan as the research object and, based on high content of zinc iron minerals in ore, study conducts a roasting experiment prepare ZnFeO4...

The Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper-cobalt (Ni-Cu-Co) sulphide deposits constitute a significant resource of orthomagmatic mineralization. are not exposed at the surface except for in small ferruginous gossan (Discovery Hill). subsequent geophysical surveys and diamond drilling led to discovery Ovoid ore body, buried beneath 20 m till, other deeper bedrock. This study was initiated characterize mine...
