Spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles having a composition represented by the formula:(MO)&#xb7;/2(FeO)where M is a divalent metal and n is a molar ratio of Fe to M (n=Fe/M) which is from more than 2.05 to less than 2.5 (2.05&#x3c;n&#x3c;2.5). They contain a superparamagnetic component in an amount of not more than 2% by mass, has an average particle diameter of 5 to 30 nm. The particles are respectively coated on surface with a hydroxide of at least one metal Si, Al, P and Zn in an amount of not more than 10% by mass, calculated as the metal. The spinel-type ferrimagnetic particles can exhibit a high coercive force irrespective of fine particles, and are excellent in dispersibility and chemical stability, as well as the magnetic recording medium for high-density recording can exhibit not only excellent frequency characteristics and high output characteristics, but also an excellent weather resistance and a high reliability.
