The Sabah Fe ore deposits are located in Al-Bayda'a area, about 220 km SE of Sana'a Capital City. Iron associated and confined in marble beds and meta andesite. Mineralogical studies by XRD analyses and petrographic examinations under reflected light of iron ores show they are composed essentially of magnetite and hematite minerals.The results of chemical analyses for iron ore in the Sabah area show that, the iron oxide ranges from 64.3% to 86%, with an average of 76.7%, and iron has an average 57.5%.The Magnetic map of Al-Bayda'aMukayras block illustratedlarge and clear anomaly of ore deposit. The band ratio 5/4 of ETM+ and ASTER highlight rocks rich in ferrous iron as bright pixels compared to other rock units.The band ratio 3/1 of ETM+ highlight iron oxides as bright pixels. The band ratio 5/7 of ETM+ and its equivalent 4/6 of ASTER image highlighted the regions which are dominated by the hydroxyl and silicate-bearing rocks as bright pixel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
