Comparative Study of Local Mining Methods and Assay of ...
This research attempt to investigate and compare the local mining methods of cassiterite in Kuru-Jantar with the view to determine the mean recovery per day using statistical approach, separating the valuable minerals through the gravity and magnetic techniques, determine the grade of cassiterite (tin oxide) with the aid of volumetric and energy dispersive x-ray florescence (XRF) analyses; and ...
Cassiterite - Occurrence, Properties, and Distribution
Cassiterite occurs in granite, rhyolite, granite pegmatite, large alluvial placers, greisen, medium- to high-temperature hydrothermal veins and metamorphic deposits in rare cases. It is often associated with the minerals like tourmaline, wolframite, muscovite, lepidolite, scheelite, fluorite, molybdenite, bismuth, arsenopyrite, quartz and topaz.
