Correlations between 25Mg NMR parameters and the local structure at the magnesium site(s) are highlighted and discussed. First-principles density functional theory calculations of 25Mg NMR parameters carried out with the WIEN2k software package support our experimental 25Mg NMR 25 data. Experimental Mg CQ values range from 0.7 ± 0.1 MHz in hungchaoite to 18.0 ± 0.5 MHz in 25 boracite-type Mg3B7O13Br.

HAWTHORNES Department of Geological Sciences,University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2, Canada AesrRAcr A hierarchical structural classification is developed for borate minerals, based on the linkage of (BQ) triangles and (BO+) tetrahedra to form FBBs (fundamental building blocks) that polymerize to form the structural unit, a tightly bonded anionic polyhedral array whose excesscharge is baianced by the presenceof large low-valence interstitial cations. Thirty-one minerals, with nineteen distinct structure-types,contain isolated borate polyhedra. Twenty-seven minerals, with twenty-five distinct struc- ture-types, contain finite clusters of borate polyhedra. Ten minerals, with ten distinct structue-types, contain chains of borate polyhedra. Fifteen minerals, with thirteen distinct structue-types, contain sheets of borate polyhedra. Fifteen minerals, with thirteen distinct sEucture-types,contain frameworks of borate polyhedra. It is only the close-packed structures of the isolated- polyhedra class that show significant isotypism Kelwords: borate minerals, crystal sffuctures, structural hierarchy.

The B-Q bonds (Q: unspecifiedanion) are of much higber bond-valencethan the interstitial bonds,and thus borateninerals readily lend themselvesto hierarchicalclassification based on the topological characterof ttre FBB (fundamentalbuilding block) and the structuralunit.

Moreover,three-membered polyhedral rings are almostcompletely dorninant;the only exceptionis the four-memberedpolyhedral ring in borcarite.Three-membered polyhedral rings occur in the following order of preference:<A2fl> >> 4Afl> > <3fl> > <34>.

    Potash, Soda Ash, and Borates 3

    Energy and Environmental Profile of the U.S. Mining Industry Potash, Soda Ash, and Borates 3 Potash, soda ash and borates are industrial minerals. They are used primary as feedstock for other industries. They are used to make fertilizers, glass, chemicals and other materials used throughout manufacturing industries. For example, the agricultural industry relies heavily on potash and borates as fertilizers. It is the dependence of these manufacturing industries that make industrial minerals so important. Forms of Potash Potash is used primarily as an agricultural fertilizer because it is a source for soluble potassium. Potash denotes a variety of mined and manufactured salts, all containing the element potassium in water-soluble form. Potash can be potassium chloride [KCL, or muriate of potash (MOP)], potassium sulfate [K2SO4, or sulfate of potash (SOP), a . manufactured product], potassium/magnesium sulfate [K2SO4 MgSO4, or sulfate of potash magnesia (SOPM)], potassium nitrate (KNO3 or saltpeter, a manufactured product), or mixed sodium/potassium nitrate (NaNO3+KNO3, or Chilean saltpeter). The term potash was originally applied to potassium carbonate/potassium hydroxide crystals that were recovered in iron “pots” from leaching wood “ashes” with water.1 Forms of Soda Ash Soda ash is the trade name for sodium carbonate (NA2CO3), a chemical refined from the mineral trona or from sodium carbonate-bearing brines (both referred to as natural soda ash) and manufactured from one of several chemical processes (referred to as synthetic soda ash). It is an essential raw material in glass, chemicals, detergents, and other 2 important industrial products. 1 Department of Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, Mineral Industry Survey, Potash, p.1, 1997 2 Department of Interior, U.S.

    A-Type Granite Plutons and Tin Skarns in Southeast Yukon: Mindy Prospect and Surrounding Granites of 105C/9

    A-type granite plutons and tin skarns in southeast Yukon: Mindy prospect and surrounding granites of 105C/9 Tim Liverton Watson Lake, Yukon Liverton, T., 2016. A-type granite plutons and tin skarns in southeast Yukon: Mindy prospect and surrounding granite of 105C/9. In: Yukon Exploration and Geology 2015, K.E. MacFarlane and M.G. Nordling (eds.), Yukon Geological Survey, p. 151-164. ABSTRACT In the southeast Yukon, immediately southwest of the mid-Cretaceous Cassiar suite plutons,is a northwest-trending suite of anorogenic one-mica granites called the Seagull suite. This suite is comprised of the Seagull and Hake batholiths, Ork and Thirtymile stocks and an un-named intrusion to the northwest. These B and F enriched granites are associated with various forms of tin mineralization, including skarns. The Mindy prospect in the Thirtymile Range contains a variety of metasomatic silicate and borate and fluoride minerals. Tin (Sn) mineralization is found as cassiterite and borate mineral phases. Mapping has shown that faulting active during metamorphism- metsomatism controlled the distribution of the skarn mineralization. Both mineral chemistry and structural control of mineralization have a significant effect on the economic potential of the Mindy prospect. [email protected] YUKON EXPLORATION AND GEOLOGY 2015 151 YUKON GEOLOGICAL RESEARCH INTRODUCTION Skarn mineralization may have a variety of tin minerals: cassiterite, vonsenite [3(Fe,Mg)O·2Fe2O3·SnO2·3B2O3], A northwest-trending line of mid-Cretaceous granite 2+ 3+ hulsite [(Fe ,Mg)2·(Fe ,Sn)BO5], nordenskiöldine plutons in southeast Yukon (Seagull and Hake batholiths, [CaSn(BO ) ] and malayaite [CaSn(SiO )] associated with Ork stock, Thirtymile stock and one un-named stock) have 3 2 5 fluoborite [Mg3(F,OH)3BO3].

In most metamorphic and igneous environments, boron is incorporated into minerals of the tourmaline supergroup. In high-grade metamorphic terranes like that of the Adirondack region of northern New York State, uncommon rock compositions combined with unusual and variable geologic conditions resulted in the formation of many additional boron-bearing minerals. This paper reviews the occurrences and geological settings of twelve relatively uncommon boron-bearing minerals in the southern Grenville Province of upstate New York and provides new chemical and Raman spectral data for seven of these minerals. The boron minerals range from relatively simple metal borates (e.g., vonsenite), to chemically complex borosilicates (e.g., prismatine), to a relatively rare borosilicate-carbonate (e.g., harkerite).
