LITHOEN

Material

Krásno greisen ore

The greisen material of the Hub stock: Li-mica-topaz and topaz-Li-mica greisens enriched, relative to the weakly greisenised topaz granites they replace, in calcium, fluorine, iron, lithium, silicon, tin and tungsten. It carries cassiterite and wolframite, and its Li-mica is zinnwaldite — a lithium host that is neither spodumene nor a brine.

Establishedlithium in zinnwaldite, tin in near-ideal cassiterite, tungsten in manganoan ferberite

Reported for this deposit

The Krásno greisen material carries its three metals in three named minerals: lithium in ZINNWALDITE, tin in cassiterite of near-ideal composition above 99 weight per cent SnO2, and tungsten in wolframite of manganoan ferberite composition. The lithium host matters: zinnwaldite is a mica, and it is neither spodumene nor petalite nor a brine.

  • assertion basis: SOURCE_REPORTED
  • definition basis: Mineral identifications and mineral chemistry as reported in the study.
  • commodity role: Three commodities in one greisen, each in its own mineral.
  • locality: Krásno–Horní Slavkov ore district, Krušné hory, Czechia.
  • assumption: Naming a host mineral is not a grade, not a resource and not a statement that any of the three has been or could be recovered from this material.

Evidence support: Supported by the cited evidence one source

Evidence: René 2018 Peer-reviewed
