Abstract
Mineral raw material plays a very important role in the manufacturing industry as well as the country's economic growth. The iron ore, especially the Banded Iron Formations (BIFs) are unique rock formations in geological history. The Mallasamudra area, Gadag Schist Belt (GSB), is having good exposures of iron ores. Most of the outcrops of BHQ are located on the top of the hills whereas metabasalts occur on either side of the hills in the area. The BHQ were delineated during field mapping. In the Banded Hematite Quartzite (BHQ) of Mallasamudra area, SiO2 varies from 48.22% to 52.12% and Fe2O3 varies from 29.23% to 33.21% indicating that the BHQ is of low-grade.
