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...
