Iron Ore India is endowed with fairly abundant resources of iron ore. It has the largest reserve of iron ore in Asia. The two main types of ore found in our country are haematite and magnetite. It has great demand in international market due to its superior quality. The iron ore mines occur in close proximity to the coal fields in the north-













Six types of goethite morphology have been distinguished in the Orissa iron ore samples. These are botryoidal, nodular, spheroidal, platy, stalactitic, and flaky . These morphotypes have been established on electron microscopy. The characteristics of individual morphotypes in iron ore of Orissa are described in Table 1.



These three prominent belts of iron ore deposits along with associated litho-types have been designated as the Iron Ore Super Group (IOSG) of Odisha [2,6,18,25]. ... Iron ore deposits of Orissa. Supra-or-Infra- to BIFs, SGAT, 5. 39-41. [9] Acharya, S. (2008) Genesis of Banded Iron Formations and associated iron and manganese ore deposits …



The Singhbhum-Orissa BIFs and that of the study area are the predominant chemical sediments of the Meso to NeoArchean (∼3.3 Ga) collectively called as Iron Ore Group (IOG). These BIFs rest unconformably over the Bonai Granite (Saha et al., 1988).The central oval-shaped Archean nucleus of Singhbhum-Orissa province is …

Orissa deposits are predominantly stratiform, high chromium and high iron types. Sukinda chromite is relatively rich in chromium and …





Iron ore deposits could well be Odisha's passport to a bright future. With the upswing in the global demand for steel, which is obtained after the reddish-grey ore is put through a blast furnace, Odisha is the toast of the country and perhaps the world. ... The huge deposits of iron ore State is expected to cater to needs of these companies ...





Abstract: Brecciated iron ore deposit (BID) is well demarcated in the majority stretch of bedded type of iron deposits of Bonai-Keonjhar iron ore belt (BK belt). Khandbandh, Thakurani, Banspani are some of the localities where brecciated iron deposits occurs exclusively or along with Banded Iron Formation (BIF).



India is one of the richest sources of iron ore deposits in the world; and one of them is located in the Noamundi-Koira basin, Singhbhum-Orissa craton. The geological comparative studies of banded iron formation (BIF) and associated iron ores of Noamundi-Koira iron ore deposits, belonging to the iron ore group in eastern India, focus on the …



Types of Iron Ore Magnetite. The most important and best type of iron ore is magnetite. It has a metallic iron content of 72 percent. Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Goa, and Kerala are among the states where it can be found. ... Hematite is abundant in Orissa's ores. The richest hematite deposits in India are found in the ...



Hence, these states lead the iron ore production in India. Iron Ore Mining in Major Indian States. India is the world's fifth-largest exporter of iron ore. About 50 to 60 percent of the iron ore production in India is exported to nations like Japan, Korea, Europe, and most recently, the Gulf States. India's largest export market for iron ...







The Joda–Barbil region of the Jamda–Koira valley is one of the most important sources of iron ores in India. The mineralogy, texture, and chemical composition of iron ore of the region have been analyzed to understand the presence of different types of goethite and their compositional variation with respect to Fe, Al2O3, SiO2, and P that are essential for …



Banded iron formations of the Iron Ore Group (Archean greenstone belts) of Jharkhand-Orissa region, India host a good number of large iron ore deposits (Fe wt %> 62). Iron ore mineralization of Gandhamardan hill is one of them where iron ores occur in two stratigraphic horizons. One is strictly confined within banded iron formation …







Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and iron ore constitute a key horizon in the Badampahar-Gorumahisani-Suleipat (BGS) belt lying to the northeastern periphery of the North Orissa Iron Ore Craton (NOIOC) (Figure 6.1). The era ton comprises Singhbhum granite complex having enclaves of Older Metamorphic Group (OMG) and Older Metamorphic Tonalite …









Banded Iron Formation (BIF), a bi-component rock of the Precambrian period is exposed along with iron ore in distinct geographical entities encircling the North Odisha Iron Ore Craton (NOIOC) in Odisha-Jharkhand states, eastern India. Iron formation of the eastern province is confined to Badampahar-Gorumahisani-Sulaipat belt.







Six types of goethite morphology have been distinguished in the Orissa iron ore samples. These are botryoidal, nodular, spheroidal, platy, stalactitic, and fl aky ( Fig. 1 ). These morphotypes have been established on electron microscopy. The characteristics of individual morpho-types in iron ore of Orissa are described in T able 1 .
