  1. 1. The Fe-oxides (mineralogical, chemical, and textural) variation in the Leveäniemi deposit using micro-analytical tools for unraveling of primary features and metamorphic recrystallisation

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

    Author : Adrian Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Leveäniemi; Magnetite; Hematite; Iron oxides; Iron oxide apatite;

    Abstract : The Leveäniemi iron oxide apatite (IOA) deposit, mined by LKAB, is located in Norrbotten, northern Sweden. The deposit has a partially more complex mineralogy than the neighbouring and more famous IOA deposits of Kiirunavaara and Malmberget. READ MORE

  3. 2. Epidotization as an Effect of Fluid Rock Interaction, Recorded by a Granitoid From Hågadalen, Uppsala

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Linn Barreby; [2022]
    Keywords : Fluids; Fluid Transport; Metamorphism; Metasomatism; Saussuritization; Epidote Group; Geology; Bedrock; Fluider; Fluidtransport; Metamorfos; Metasomatism; Saussuritisering; Epidot Gruppen; Geologi; Berggrund;

    Abstract : A common driving mechanism of metamorphic processes, from which secondary mineralizations and structures develop in a protolith, is known to be a change of the immediate P-T environment that a rock resides in. A factor in this process, which is poorly understood, however, is how the presence of metamorphic fluids in a system, influences the alteration of primary igneous rocks. READ MORE

    Keywords : Zinkgruvan; Bergslagen; Cobalt; Sphalerite; Pyrrhotite; Safflorite;

    Abstract : Zinkgruvan is a stratiform Zn-Pb-Ag deposit located in the Bergslagen ore district in south central Sweden. Elevated concentrations of cobalt have been detected in zinc ore from the mine. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Petrological Investigation of the Host Rocks for the Kuj-Kiirunavaara Ore

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Holger Sandberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Kiirunavaara; optical mineralogy; hydrothermal alteration; electron microprobe; Kiirunavaara; optisk mineralogi; hydrotermal omvandling; elektron-mikrosond;

    Abstract : The Kiirunavaara mine hosts one of the world’s largest apatite-iron ore mineralisations. This ore body has been subject to large amounts of research as well as extensive mining. The ore body is situated between the syenitic foot wall and the rhyodacitic hanging wall, of which consists of differing mineralogy and characteristics. READ MORE
