  • Formation of tin ore deposits: A reassessment

    Primary tin ore deposits are part of magmatic-hydrothermal systems invariably related to late granite phases (tin granites, pegmatites, tin porphyries), and may become dispersed by exogenic processes and then eventually form placer deposits within a few km from their primary source, due to the density of cassiterite, its hardness and chemical ...

    Lead (Pb) Ore | Properties, Minerals, Formation, Deposits

    Lead ore is primarily composed of lead sulfide (PbS), which is the most common mineral form of lead. Other minerals that may be present in lead ore deposits include cerussite (lead carbonate, PbCO3), anglesite (lead sulfate, PbSO4), galenite (lead sulfide, PbS), and other lead-bearing minerals. The concentration of lead in lead ore deposits can vary widely, ranging …

    Chapter 3 (Part II): Mineral Deposit Types 3.7

    There are many ways of grouping mineral deposits, but some geological criteria have been accepted and used for classification including; (1) metal content (commodity); (2) shape or form of deposits (morphology); (3) host rock association; (4) ore forming processes, (5) conditions of deposition (temperature, pressure), (6) tectonic setting, and ...

    In some areas older 'main type' mineralised channels and terrace deposits have been cut by younger channels which rework and disperse the ore accumulations and re-deposit barren sand. Some 75% of Nigeria's tin production to 1978 has been derived from accumulations developed adjacent to Jurassic granites of the Jos-Bukuru and Ropp ring dyke ...

    Concordant ore bodies are found in a variety of sedimentary and igneous rocks. Magmatic ore deposits, such as chromite within mafic and ultramafic complexes occur as alternating layers with host rocks (Fig. 2.2g). Massive sulfide deposits also form concordant ore bodies within volcanicsequences within volcanic sequences as shown in Fig. 2.2(h).
