The banded iron formations of the Hamersley Province in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, are the thickest and most extensive rocks of this type in the world. It is estimated that after they were originally deposited, about 2470 to 2450 million years ago, they covered some 150 000 km2 and contained about 300 trillion tonnes of iron.

Iron ore is overwhelmingly the most important exploitable mineral of the Hamersley Basin. The chapter uses a modified nomenclature for banding in the banded iron-formations (BIFs), which has been proposed by Trendall et al.; and includes a detailed analysis of the published geochronological evidence, as a basis for a new interpretation of the …

BIF-hosted iron ore deposits in the northern half of the Pilbara Craton (that is, excluding the Hamersley Basin), with an emphasis on relationships between the BIF host, structures, iron ore types, alteration mineral assemblages, and indicator geochemistry for higher-grade (>55 wt% Fe) iron ore zones.

paper. The Orissa banded iron-formation is classified as Precambrian banded iron formation and is similar to the oxide facies iron formation of Lake Superior type. The Orissa iron formation consists only of iron oxide and silica with total absence of iron silicate, sulfide and carbonate minerals, and is devoid of terri- genous material.

Asteroid mega-impacts and Precambrian banded iron. The Marra Mamba Formation, which consists of ferruginous chert, banded iron formation and shale, is absent in the eastern part of the Hamersley Basin, where a stromatolitic carbonate (Carawine Dolomite) directly overlies the Jeerinah Formation.

Based on detailed sedimentological observations of lower to middle member of the Brockman supersequence of the Hamersley Group (Mt Sylvia Formation, Mt McRae Shale and Brockman Iron Formation), Krapez et al. and Pickard et al. have evolved the hydrothermal model for origin of BIF at the Hamersley Basin.

It is predominately associated with Banded Iron Formation (BIF).

The Joffre Member of the Brockman Iron Formation is by volume the largest single known banded iron formation (BIF) in the world. Here we present detailed petrology and chemostratigraphy through the entire 355 m core section of this ∼2.45 billion year old unit.

The Hamersley Basin is one of the two largest global iron ore provinces. Although mineralisation is thought to involve upgrading of banded iron formation (through the removal of silica and carbonate), the origin of the upgrading is controversial.

of the Jeerinah Formation, with mafic volcanics and sills increasing southwards. The Fortescue Group is conformably overlain by the 2500 m thick Hamersley Group which hosts most of the main iron ore deposits of Western Australia. It is characterised by around 1000 m of laterally extensive banded iron formation representing three major …

Thus, the name banded iron formation comes from the characteristic colour banding of these huge deposits, which are well known in Western Australia. BIF-hosted deposits occur in Western Australia in the Pilbara region, particularly in the Hamersley Basin (e.g. Mt Tom Price), the Yilgarn (e.g. Koolyanobbing), and in South Australia in the …

One type of evidence is a comparison of different occurrences. Three of the best-preserved basins of Precambrian iron formation deposition are here denned and compared systematically: the Hamersley Basin of Western Australia, the Animikie Basin of North America, and the Transvaal System Basin of South Africa.
