  1. 1. EBSD Investigation of High-Temperature Magnetite from Apatite-Iron-Oxide Deposits: Implications for the Formation of Giant Kiruna-Type Deposits

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Jens Henriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Kiruna-type deposit; electron backscattered diffraction; crystal settling; Fe-O systematics; crystal alignment;

    Abstract : European iron production is to a large extent dependant on massive Kiruna type apatite-iron ore deposits. In this contribution, high-temperature magnetite samples from apatite-iron-oxide deposits are investigated by means of Electron Backscattered Diffraction. However, the origin of Kiruna-type deposits is still unresolved. READ MORE

  3. 2. GEOCHEMICAL UNDERSTANDING OF VANADIUM IN MALMBERGET ORES (KIRUNA TYPE), NORTHERN SWEDEN

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Kabelo Kambai; [2021]
    Keywords : Vanadium; Malmberget; Kiruna Type;

    Abstract : The Norrbotten region is an important Swedish mining district with occurrence of several economic deposits and sub-economic deposits of apatite iron ores (Kiruna Type) and epigenetic Cu-Au ores. The apatite iron ores include the large Malmberget deposit mined by LKAB company as one of their world class underground mines. READ MORE

  4. 3. Iron and Oxygen Isotope Signatures of Magnetite in Iron Ore of Kiruna Type

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Malin Andersson; [2020]
    Keywords : IOA-deposits; magnetite; SIMS; EBSD; Fe- and O isotopes; laser fluorination;

    Abstract : Stable isotope analysis of iron and oxygen isotopes in magnetite of Kiruna-type from Sweden and Chile have been conducted to further the understanding of the formation, and advance the analysis methods of these deposits. For this, data from SIMS (secondary ion mass spectroscopy), EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) and triple oxygen analysis (by laser fluorination) are used. READ MORE

  5. 4. Laser Ablation in Magnetites; Unravelling the Signatures of Trace Element Patterns for Ore Petrogenesis : Trace element signatures of magnetite linked to metallogenesis of iron mineralizations of the Kiruna type

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Siôn Kinson; [2020]
    Keywords : EPMA; LA-ICPMS; petrogenesis; magnetite; orthomagmatic; igneous; hydrothermal; alteration; EPMA; LA-ICPMS; petrogenes; magnetit; ortomagmatisk; stollande; hydrotermisk; förändring;

    Abstract : Trace element analyses of magnetite samples from multiple ore deposits worldwide have recently been conducted, using both EPMA and LA-ICPMS, in order to try and understand the petrogenesis of Kiruna-type ore deposits. Here I employ literature data and new data from Kiruna and Grängesberg (Sweden) to help constrain and visualise evolutionary trends recorded by our samples and derive an overall model for the evolutionary processes that lead to Kiruna-type deposits.

  6. 5. Structural controls on the shear zone hosted, IOCG-style Kiskamavaara Cu-Co-Au mineralization

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Nicolai Metzger; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sweden is the largest producer of iron ore in the European Union, as well as amongst the top producers for base and precious metals. Much of its mineral wealth derives from northern Norrbotten, type locality of the Kiruna-type-magnetite-apatite ores. READ MORE
