Geochemical and iron isotopic compositions of magnetite, ilmenite and pyrite separates from the Fesingle bondTi oxide ores hosted in the Damiao anorthosite-type Fesingle bondTi ore deposit were analyzed to investigate sub-solidus cooling history of the titanomagnetite. The Fesingle bondTi oxides form two series of solid solutions, namely, ulvöspinel-magnetite (Usp-Mtss) and hematite-ilmenite (Hem-Ilmss) solid solutions. The magnetite separates have 14–27 mol% ulvöspinel, while the ilmenite separates have 5–8 mol% hematite. Major element compositions of the mineral separates suggest that the ilmenites were mainly exsolved from the Usp-Mtssby oxidation of ulvöspinel in the temperature range of ~820–600 °C and experienced inter-oxide re-equilibration with the magnetites. Associated with the exsolution is the substantial inter-mineral iron isotope fractionation. The magnetite separates are characterized by high δ57Fe (+0.27 − +0.65‰), whereas the ilmenite separates have lower δ57Fe (−0.65 to −0.28‰). Two types of pyrite are petrographically observed, each of which has a distinctive iron isotope fingerprint. Type I pyrite (pyriteI) with higher δ57Fe (δ57Fe = +0.63 − +0.95‰) is consistent with magmatic origin, and type II pyrite (pyriteII) with lower δ57Fe (δ57Fe = −0.90 to −0.11‰) was likely to have precipitated from fluids. Iron isotopic fingerprints of the pyriteIprobably indicate variations of oxygen fugacity, whereas those of the pyriteIImay result from fluid activities. The iron isotopic fractionation between the magnetite and ilmenite is the net result of sub-solidus processes (including ulvöspinel oxidation and inter-oxide re-equilibration) without needing varying oxygen fugacity albeit its presence. Although varying composition of magnetite-ilmenite pairs reflects variations of oxygen fugacity, inter-oxide iron isotopic fractionation does not.
