The topic of this contribution is to provide a concept for Fe isotope ratio variations in hydrothermal and supergene iron ores. For this purpose, we report a large new dataset comprising 51 samples of various iron minerals from hydrothermal and sedimentary deposits in a well-investigated ore district of Central Europe, the Schwarzwald in southwest Germany.
Structure is the most important control on the location of hematite deposits in the Hamersley Province in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Unravelling the structural history of mineralised areas, however, is complex because the Province underwent three orogenic events, and three regional extension events followed the main episodes of compression. Steeply E to …

High-grade iron ore of the 4EE orebody of the 4E deposit (>200 Mt at 63.5 wt % Fe) occurs as a southerly dipping sheet within banded iron formation (BIF) of the Paleoproterozoic Dales Gorge and Joffre members of the Brockman Iron Formation. Structural reconstruction of the 4E deposit shows that reactivation of the 18E fault and development of …
The model of interactions between ore fluids and aluminosilicate rocks at varied P-T conditions indicates that the alteration mineral assemblages in hypozonal deposits (>12 km) mainly include biotite, amphibole, anorthite, K-feldspar, quartz, and pyrrhotite assemblages; that those in mesozonal deposits (6 to 12 km) are characterized by chlorite, calcite, quartz, …
carbonate) alteration assemblages. Nature of ore Ore is present in massive lenses (mantos), pipes (chimneys), and veins of iron, lead, zi nc, and copper sulfide minerals that are hosted by and replace limestone, dolomite, or other sedimentary rocks; most massive ore contains >50 percent sulfide minerals.
