SAMDLING FOR cnRALT AT RORNITE, ALASKA By Jeffrey Y. Foley 1 INTRODIICTION Carrollite (CuCo2S4), an ore mineral of cobalt, is known to occur in the Ruby Creek Cu-Zn deposit at Bornite (fig. 1), in northwest Alaska (5, q). 2 The events leading to mineralization of dolomite and argillite units and the distribution of these rocks in the Bornite district are among the topics covered in a PhD discertation by M. W. Hitzman of Stan- ford University (in progress). Hitzman has identified carkollite and cobaltiferous pyrite at numerous intersections in diamond drill core belonging to Rear Creek Mining Corporation, the present operator of the property. A brief visit to collect bulk samples was made by a Bureau geologist in July, 19R1, as part of the Alaska Critical Metals program. ECONOMIC GEOLOGY Hitzman summarizes the distribution of cobalt as occurring: 1) "...as late cobaltiferous pyrite rims on earlier formed pyrite grains in pyritiferous, ferroan dolo- mite with disseminated sphalerite and massive siderite" 2) "...as carrollite in high-grade hornite, chalcocite, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite ore at higher levels in the deposit." 1 Geologist, U.S. Rureau of Mines, Alaska Field Operations Center, Fairbanks. 2 Underlined numbers in parentheses refer to items in the list of references at the end oF this report. ; - > . ; - .>;. -1,; g n/ /- ; > @ ! - xi #."R-: 3 2 vl- t 7:'i "^.

Depositional Environment High fluid flow along tabular or pipe-like fault- or karst (?)-breccia zones. Tectonic Setting(s) Continental platform or shelf terrane with continental or passive margin rifting. Ore formation at Tsumeb and Ruby Creek predates folding. Associated Deposit Types Sedimentary copper, U-veins, barite veins. Sedimentary exhalative Pb-Zn may be a lateral facies. DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION Mineralogy Ruby Creek: pyrite, bornite, chalcocite, chalcopyrite, carrollite, sphalerite, tennantite. Tsumeb: galena, sphalerite, bornite, tennantite, enargite. Kipushi: sphalerite, bornite, chalcopyrite, carrollite, chalcocite, tennantite, pyrite. Less abundant minerals in these deposits are linnaeite, Co-pyrite, germanite, renierite, gallite, tungstenite, molybdenite, and native Bi. Bituminous matter in vugs. At Apex mine, marcasite. Texture/Structure Massive replacement, breccia filling, or stockwork. Replacement textures of pyrite after marcasite at Ruby Creek and Apex. Alteration Dolomitization, sideritization, and silicification may be related to mineralization. Early pyrite or arsenopyrite as breccia filling or dissemination.

ABSTRACT Minerals containing cobalt as an essential element display systematic trends in their diversity and distribution. We employ data for 66 approved Co mineral species (as tabulated by the official mineral list of the International Mineralogical Association, http://rruff.info/ima, as of 1 March 2016), represent- ing 3554 mineral species-locality pairs (www.mindat.org and other sources, as of 1 March 2016). We find that cobalt-containing mineral species, for which 20% are known at only one locality and more than half are known from five or fewer localities, conform to a Large Number of Rare Events (LNRE) distribution. Our model predicts that at least 81 Co minerals exist in Earth’s crust today, indicating that at least 15 species have yet to be discovered—a minimum estimate because it assumes that new minerals will be found only using the same methods as in the past. Numerous additional cobalt miner- als likely await discovery using micro-analytical methods.

  • Cassiterite Recovery from a Sulfide Ore Flotation Tailing by Combined Gravity and Flotation Separations
    Physicochem. Probl. Miner. Process., 57(1), 2021, 206-215 Physicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing ISSN 1643-1049 http://www.journalssystem.com/ppmp © Wroclaw University of Science and Technology Received August 11, 2020; reviewed; accepted November 29, 2020 Cassiterite recovery from a sulfide ore flotation tailing by combined gravity and flotation separations Limin Zhang, Sultan an Khoso, Mengjie Tian, Wei Sun School of Minerals Processing and Bioengineering, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China Key Laboratory of Hunan Province for Clean and Efficient Utilization of Strategic Calcium-containing Mineral Resources, Central South University, Changsha 410083, China Corresponding author: [email protected] (Mengjie Tian) Abstract: Cassiterite (SnO2), which is the most important Sn-containing mineral, is extensively found in large quantities in discarded tailings. The recovery of cassiterite from discarded sulfide ore flotation tailings can reduce resource wastage and environmental pollution. The gravity separation technique can recover multiple valuable minerals, such as cassiterite, whose densities considerably differ from those of their associated gangue minerals. However, its recovery efficiency rapidly decreases as the mineral particle grain size decreases. To recover the finer valuable mineral particles from gravity separation tailings, flotation separation can be used as a supplementary method. In this study, the gravity and flotation separation techniques are combined to recover cassiterite from a sulfide ore tailing. The Sn grade and recovery of the final concentrate is 31.40% and 88.05%, respectively, thus indicating a highly efficient recovery of cassiterite by using the combined gravity and flotation separation technique. This study can be an important reference for recovering cassiterite from low-Sn-grade tailings.

Except for Fe and Al, all technically important metals and other elements are scarce, in total constituting less that 1% of the Earth’s crust. Depending on the element and its mineralogy, a 10- to 10,000-fold enrichment is required for economic extraction today.
