Geochemical signatures of manganese ores around Barbil, Noamundi-Koira basin, Singhbhum Craton, Eastern India
Palaeoproterozoic Noamundi – Koira Basin (NKB), on the western margin of the >3.0 Ga old Singhbhum Granitoid Complex, forms a horseshoe-shaped synclinorium. Volcanic rocks belonging to Bonai volcanic suite (BVS) occur outside and all-around the NKB that consists of three distinct but conformable...

Palaeoproterozoic Noamundi – Koira Basin (NKB), on the western margin of the >3.0 Ga old Singhbhum Granitoid Complex, forms a horseshoe-shaped synclinorium. Volcanic rocks belonging to Bonai volcanic suite (BVS) occur outside and all-around the NKB that consists of three distinct but conformable stratigraphic units viz; Lower Shale Formation, Middle Banded Hematite Quartzite (BHQ) and/or Banded Hematite Jasper (BHJ) and Upper Shale Formation. The layered, lensoid, lateritoid, and vein type Mn-ore bodies are associated with the Upper Shale Formation. Compositions of the Mn ores widely variable values, SiO2 (1.00%- 16.40%), Al2O3 (1.62%-17.20%), Fe2O3 (10.55%-63.28%), MnO (31.75% −75.72%), Ni (25–260 ppm), Co (78–350 ppm), Zn (82–509 ppm) and Cr (13–187 ppm) clearly reflect their submarine hydrothermal source.
