A bulk and fraction-specific geochemical study of the origin of diverse high-grade hematitic iron ores from the Transvaal Supergroup, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
The Paleoproterozoic Transvaal Supergroup in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa is host to high-grade, Banded Iron Formation-hosted hematite iron-ore deposits and is the country’s most important source of iron to date. Previous studies suggest the origin of these iron ores to be ancient supe...
