Abstract

Selected numbers of representative banded iron formations collected from various mines of iron ore supergroups were investigated using ore microscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The ore microscopy results have been corroborated and compared with Mössbauer spectroscopy outcome. Different iron-bearing minerals present in these banded iron-formations have been quantified by 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. The obtained results have been discussed on the basis of degree of martization and goethite-hematite abundance.
