Abstract
"The mosaic texture and lack of clastic heavy accessory minerals indicate that the quartzose phase of the itabirite is recrystallized chert rather than clastic quartz." Thus this pre-Cambrian high-grade iron ore is more closely related to similar iron formations in other parts of the world.Keywords
