Magnesite [SEP] named after
Magnesite
Magnesite is a mineral with the chemical formula MgCO (magnesium carbonate). Iron, manganese, cobalt and nickel may occur as admixtures, but only in small amounts.
Occurrence.
Magnesite occurs as veins in and an alteration product of ultramafic rocks, serpentinite and other magnesium rich rock types in both contact and regional metamorphic terrains. These magnesites are often cryptocrystalline and contain silica in the form of opal or chert.
Magnesite is also present within the regolith above ultramafic rocks as a secondary carbonate within soil and
between the central Miitel and South Miitel ore pods and the current northern extent of the North Miitel ore trend where later, brittle faults disturb and offset the stratigraphy. 
The komatiite itself is highly talc carbonateed with a predominance of talc-magnesite-amphibolite assembages suggesting an original orthocumulate derivation. Accessory minerals in the orebody include nickeline, gersdorffite, millerite, chromite and occasionally other arsenic sulfide minerals. 
Consonant with the practise of Western Mining Corporation naming mines after the drillers which first intersected the ore, Miitel is named after driller
