Preliminary Investigation of Acid Leachable Tin Mineralization, Western Seward Peninsula, Alaska

Details

• Personal Author:
  Jansons U ; Mowatt, Thomas C.
• Description:
  Chemical and petrographic studies were carried out on selected tin- bearing rock samples of contact-metasomatic origin from the Cassiterite Creek and Brooks Mountain areas, Seward Peninsula, Alaska. The tin content of rocks ranged from 0.39 to 8.9 pct. Leaching with a 20-pct hydrochloric acid solution released from 19.3 to 67.9 pct of the tin. Cassiterite was not observed in the rock samples. The results are significant with regard to tin recovery and reserve delineation in these and similar occurrences. Part of this leachable tin may be associated with metasomatic borate minerals.
