Podiform Chromite Deposits-Database and Grade and Tonnage Models

Podiform chromite deposits are an important source for chromite, which is the only ore for chromium, and they are the primary source for both high-chromium, low-aluminum ore, used in metallurgical applications, and high-aluminum, low-chromium ore, used in refractories (Thayer, 1946; Thayer, 1963; Dickey, 1975). Concentrations of chromite as small masses or lenses were first called "pods" by Wells and others (1940) and later referred to as "podiform" by Thayer (1960).
