The surface texture and morphology of magnetite from the Izok Lake volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit and local glacial sediments, Nunavut, Canada: Application to mineral exploration

Magnetite is a common mineral found in a wide range of mineral deposits and in different geological environments. The study of surface textures and morphology of magnetite can provide information that is useful to 1) discriminate different types of magnetite such as that attributed to magmatic, metamorphic and supergene environments, 2) identify host bedrocks, 3) sediment provenance, and 4) recognize chemical and mechanical processes affecting...
