Abstract Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) is a well-recognized petrogenetic indicator and is a common
accessory mineral in many ore deposits and their host rocks. Recent years have seen an …

Mineral systems with their core of ore deposits require a rare conjunction of geodynamic
settings, crustal or lithospheric fertility, crustal architecture and suitable host rocks, and …

To aid conceptual targeting, the past two decades have seen the emergence of the mineral
systems concept, whereby ore deposits are viewed as small-scale expressions of a range of …

Although most economic geology research is concentrated at the deposit or mineral-system
scale for a single well-defined deposit group with a consistent metal association, there are …

Since the concept of mineral systems was first proposed, there have been growing calls for
their use in deriving holistic genetic models and in assisting in exploration targeting in a …

The BIF-hosted iron ore system represents the world's largest and highest grade iron ore
