Primary Tin Mineralization in Malaysia: Aspects of Geological Setting and Exploration Strategy

Structural and palynomorph evidence for Early Palaeogene‐Neogene conglomerate series in Peninsular Malaysia: Implication for basin development and tectonic history

“…The Cenozoic formations in Peninsular Malaysia are characterized by continental alluvium‐comprising layers of conglomeratic series associated with economic minerals such as cassiterite and coal‐bearing seams. The main production regions of tin in the 20th Century were all centred in the Western Belt (Batchelor, 1988; Heng et al, 1988; Yeap, 1993). The only well‐studied area for the Early Cenozoic conglomeratic series was conducted in Batu Arang (Raj, 1998; Shuib & Abdul Rahman, 1998).…”

Tools and Workflows for Grassroots Li–Cs–Ta (LCT) Pegmatite Exploration

“…Over the last four decades research into rare metal Li-Cs-Ta (LCT) pegmatite mineralisation has predominantly focused on the understanding of late-stage magmatic fractionation and hydrothermal alteration processes enriching incompatible elements of potential economic interest in felsic peraluminous melts. In particular, the mineralogy and geochemistry of LCT pegmatites have been studied in great detail and are presented in case studies from Canada and the US [1][2][3][4], Ireland [5,6], the European Variscides [7][8][9][10][11][12], the Sveconorwegian orogeny [13,14], Central-East Africa [15][16][17][18] and Australasia [19][20][21][22]. These case studies have resulted in the definition of tectonic, mineralogical and geochemical factors controlling the location of mineralisation and zonation within the roof of peraluminous S-type granite plutons, pegmatitic offshoots into metasedimentary country rock or anatectic melts with no established link to S-type granites.…”
