(PDF) The mineral exploration of the iron ore deposits in
1 Introduction The reserves of iron ores deposits in east Aswan area were estimated between 120-135 million tones with average iron content of 46.8% (Attia, 1955). The iron-bearing minerals of the Aswan deposits are mainly hematite, chamosite, goethite, and other constituents like pyrite and siderite (Mücke, 2000). It are distributed in the north eastern, eastern and western zones of Aswan Lake (Salem and El

Iron ore Wikipedia
Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite or siderite. Ores containing very high quantities of hematite or magnetite are known as "natural ore" or "direct shipping ore", meaning
