The magnetite–apatite ores in the Kiruna area, northern Sweden, are generally considered to be of magmatic origin formed in a subvolcanic–volcanic environment during the early Proterozoic. They are thought to have crystallised from volatile-rich iron oxide magmas derived by immiscibility in calc-alk...
