Petrology of banded iron formation-related country rocks at the northern limit of the Mbalam iron ore district, southeastern Cameroon

Abstract: Banded iron formation (BIF)-related country rocks at the northern limit of the Mbalam iron ore district constitute part of the Archean to Proterozoic  greenstone belt of the Congo Craton (CC). In this study the petrology of BIFs and amphibolites from the lower part of the Njweng ridge is presented  in a bid to decipher the source of the sediments and their inherent iron enrichment. The BIFs vary from oxide to silicate facies categories, composed  mainly of magnetite bands alternating with quartz bands and thei… Show more
