Abstract:
Specific characteristics of iron ore deposits in Ljubija rayon are given by pelitoide ore (,,brand,,), which occupy a substantial part of iron mineral resources, on which it depends industrial production of natural iron oxide - pigments. This particular technology type of iron ore deposits, until recently was waste from mining production, and now when is possible to the implement a new technological processes, that waste became an important commercial product. This paper presents the results detailed geological research which continue for a few years, laboratory and tehnological tests. It presents the new data on the metallogenetic characteristics of the environment where are originate iron oxides as a raw material for a mineral pigments. In this paper we answered and resolved dilemma about brand identity in adequate genetic iron types in Ljubija mining regions, about their specificity as well as the ore formations and geohistorical development. Through the technological characterization of the ore and its domain of application, we provide the basis for economic evaluation of the deposits of this very important mineral resource.
