The main objective of this research was to use ground magnetic survey to delineate shear zone and iron ore deposit within the Neoproterozoic rocks of Mutomo-Ikutha area of south eastern Kenya. Total field magnetic data was recorded by using high resolution proton precision geometric magnetometer which recorded total components of the ground magnetic anomaly data running through sixteen traverses.

Mineral deposits in Kenya occur in different geological settings, such as those associated with Tertiary rocks (Turkana sapphire deposit). Most of the mineral deposits like iron ore located within the Neoproterozoic Mozambique orogenic belt have not been properly evaluated in geological and metallogenical context.

The iron-ore deposits occur in the form of thin surface laterites that occur on most of the ridges in Sakwa and Asembo. Kilifi Area Small iron-ore deposits occur and are been mined at Jaribuni, Kilifi district (Gerd, 2009). The iron ore is mined for supply to the cement factories at Bamburi and Athi River.
Apr 01, 2015 Kenya has ample iron ore deposits which are yet to be fully exploited and utilized for the development and economic growth of the nation. There are iron ore deposits in counties like Taita Taveta (Manyatta), Tharaka (Marimanti) and Siaya (Samia) which have not been fully exploited and thus there is need to amass information on the quality of ...
Geochemical evidence indicates that the iron ore deposit of Mutomo – Ikutha area contains between 48 – 93 % Fe2O3, 0.2-5.9% P2O5, 0.05 – 1.9 % TiO2 and 0.007% - 1.3% V.
Apr 09, 2015 Exploitation of existing iron ore deposit is the easier part of the mining operations. The harder part is to find new ore deposits and to define their extent and the iron content (grade). Exploration is the process by which the accumulations of iron ore …
Nov 05, 2013 A combined geological and geophysical survey undertaken in Kimachia area of Meru County in central Kenya has established the existence of small scale iron ore deposit that seems to be part of a more extensive iron rich zone. The study has identified magnetite as the main ore in the geological formations.
Mar 02, 2021 He will advise everyone on the viability of the iron ore deposits. ... “When the heavy machines arrive we will produce 4,000 to 10,000 bags per day to serve Central and Mt Kenya …
A chemical analysis of some rock samples indicates quantity of Fe2O3 at an average of 25%. This shows significant quantities of iron which confirms presence of iron ore in the area. This confirms presence of extended iron deposits within the region, in addition to the deposits discovered at neighbouring Kimachia.
