It is not a true mineral, but a mineraloid, and it is composed by a mixture of similar hydrated iron oxide minerals, mostly goethite with lepidocrocite, jarosite, and others.
Iron caps or gossans of siliceous iron oxide typically forms as the result of intensive oxidation of sulfide ore deposits.
These gossans were used by prospectors as guides to buried ore. In addition the oxidation of sulfide deposits which contained gold mineralization often resulted in the concentration of gold in the iron oxide and quartz of the gossans.

 "B11B-1029" in fm06
Dissimilatory iron reduction at high temperatures is likely to be widespread in high-temperature, anoxic environments such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents and terrestrial hot springs.
In P. aerophilum, ferric reductase and nitrate reductase activities and nitrate reductase abundances varied in iron- and nitrate-grown cultures suggesting that dissimilatory iron and nitrate reduction are regulated.
This suggests that direct contact with insoluble iron was not necessary for growth and that the organism may use an extracellular mediator for iron reduction.

 Rust
The problem with iron as well as many other metals is that the oxide formed by oxidation does not firmly adhere to the surface of the metal and flakes off easily causing "pitting".
This is possible because the electrons produced via the initial oxidation of iron can be conducted through the metal and the iron ions can diffuse through the water layer along the metal surface to another point on the metal surface where oxygen is available.
This is one reason why iron or steel tend to corrode much more quickly when exposed to salt (such as that used to melt snow or ice on roads) or moist salty air near the ocean.

X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the iron(III) oxide in the prepared Fe-Si adsorbents was amorphous, largely due to the retardation of the iron oxide crystallization by the presence of silicate species.
These forms of iron(III) oxides retain their strong affinities to As(V) and As(III), but are limited to reactor configurations incorporating large sedimentation and filtration units, which cause difficulty in solid/liquid separation [18].
Since the crystallization of iron oxides, for instance, the transformation of ferrihydrite to goethite, is strongly retarded by the presence of silicate species [20-23], the FeOOH formed through co-precipitation with silicate should be in an amorphous (or poorly crystalline) form.
