Magnetite and fluorapatite grains contain mineral inclusions (e.g., monazite and thorite) that evince syn- or postmineralization metasomatic alteration. Magnetite grains commonly meet at triple junctions, which preserve evidence for reequilibration of the ore minerals with hydrothermal fluid during or after mineralization.
"The Magnetite Mines team has a clear vision and commitment to deliver value by building an iron ore business based on the globally significant Razorback high-grade resource in the most capital efficient and timely manner possible," executive chairman Peter Schubert noted in a Twitter post.
