Mineable deposits consist of selected oxide facies with cumulative thicknesses typically from 30 to 150 m and strike lengths of several kilometers. Repetition of the iron-formation strata by folding and faulting to provide thick sections for mining, and enlargement of mineral grain size by metamorphic processes are important factors in the development of mineable deposits. 3, record 1, English, - mineable%20deposit
