Characterization of Ketchem Dome tin prospect, East-Central Alaska

Book ·
OSTI ID:6495705
The studies included field investigations, mineralogical characterization, and concentration of the tin-bearing minerals. The tin mineralization consists of cassiterite (SnO/sub 2/), which occurs as grains disseminated in a greisen (quartz-mica) matrix. A bulk sample from the largest and best-developed greisen vein exposed at Ketchem Dome contained 0.51 pct Sn. Concentration of the cassiterite by gravity table methods resulted in a product that contained 56 pct of the tin at a grade of 41.4 pct Sn.
