Australia, iron ore deposits are divided into three types: Channel Iron Deposits (CID), Detrital Iron Deposits (DID) and Bedded Iron Deposits (BID) that are banded iron formation (BIF)-hosted and result from an enrichment process. The BID are subdivided into two main types: (1) Hematite (martite-microplaty) and (2) Martite–goethite ores.Web

Martite is a common mineral in banded iron formations. The crystal structure of martite is similar to that of hematite. Martite has a reddish-brown color and metallic luster. The martite in the sample was formed by the alteration of magnetite. The ore body consisted of martite and goethite. Martite is a pseudomorph of hematite after magnetite.Web

The Moloundou iron ore is classified as high-grade iron ore since it contains Fe grade > 65 wt% and minor amount of deleterious elements (e.g., SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, and P 2 O 5). The iron ore is martite–goethite and originated from an early hypogene magnetite oxidation followed by supergene enrichment leading to goethite mineralization in voids.Web
