Geology of the Silsilah ring complex and associated tin mineralization, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

An experimental study of tin partition between melt and aqueous fluid in F/Cl-coexisting magma

“…Many studies [9,[29][30][31][32]69] also have approved that some tin ores are substantially associated with high-F (topaz) granites. In addition, field reconnaissance has shown that some peralkaline granites are tin ore deposits [70][71][72] .…”

Metallogenesis

“…Lithophile element deposits related to silicic intrusive rocks were the subject of a GSA Special paper edited by Stein and Hannah (1990); this complements Taylor and Strong (1988) from Canada, a book with many articles by U.S. authors, here also cited. Schmitz and Burt (1990) discussed W‐Be deposits related to albitic stock in AZ, Christiansen et al (1988) Be and W in the Sheeprock Mts., UT, Du Bray (1988) and Du Bray et al (1988) Sn‐W granites in Saudi Arabia, Kortemeier and Burt (1988) Be mineralization related to ongonite and topazite dikes in AZ, Swanson et al (1988 and 1990) Sn granites of the Seward Peninsula, AK, and Thompson (1988) U and Th mineralization at Bokan Mountain, AK. Aplitic segregations in the St. Francois terrane, MO were related to fluorine by Nabelek and Russ‐Nabelek (1990).…”
