MAGNETITE / Fe₃O₄

MAGNETITE / Fe₃O₄

Geological context

Magnetite occurs in igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary settings.

Occurrence is not an economic conclusion

Finding magnetite does not establish a mineable deposit. Geological setting, continuity, mineralogy, grade and project constraints require investigation.

Useful evidence

Record location, sampling methods, petrography, assays and the relationship to surrounding rocks. A professional interpretation requires underlying data.
