I work on alteration due to both silica-leaching and oxidation enrichment (high-grad ore) and contact metamorphism. I am very keen on the hematite-magnetite-"martite" etc. pathways. I can add very little to this discussion except that in my experience, the iron oxides are very small (~1 um diameter) and disseminated.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

For instance, in some iron ore deposits, martite forms as a result of the alteration of magnetite due to weathering or hydrothermal activity. In such cases, martite may be present in larger quantities than magnetite, even though magnetite is the more common mineral in iron ore deposits. 2. Magnetic PropertiesWeb
