ABSTRACT: Mohanty et al. (2012) have wrongly analyzed M?ssbauer spectra obtained from various iron ore samples. We criticized their approach suggesting suitable methodology, and suggested to refer earlier work carried out by Nayak et al. (2001, 2004) on representative samples from the same geological belt.
