Historic tin mine. World-class hydrothermal quartz vein-type tin-tungsten deposit. N-S trending vertical or steeply dipping quartz veins are hosted by both Eocene granite and Carboniferous to Early Permian metasediments. Located within 40 km to the west of the Thai-Burma border, 250 km NNE of Yangoon (18°50'N, 97°10'E).
Placer deposits, i.e. secondary tin deposits in surface sediments, are historically the starting point of tin mining, and still today provide nearly half of all tin production (Fig. 2).The only economically important tin mineral is cassiterite (SnO 2), which is a heavy mineral (7.15 g/cm 3) and mechanically and chemically …
Background Artisanal mining of cassiterite is one tedious activity that is done daily. It involves daily extraction of economic mineral deposits through the use of primitive tools like shovel, digger, and spade. The continuous extractive act by these artisanal miners tends not to bother the Government of Nigeria and as such, there is no …

during the past 60 years (Schwartz et al. 1995), but in recent years, Myanmar tin production has greatly increased owing to the newly discovered tin mining district at Man Makhsan in the Wa State. This made Myanmar the world's third-largest producer of tin after China and Indonesia in 2014 (Gardiner et al. 2015b; Htun et al. 2017).
Tin (Sn) is one of the first metals to be used by humans. Almost without exception, tin is used as an alloy. Because of its hardening effect on copper, tin was used in bronze implements as early as 3500 B.C. The major uses of tin today are for cans and containers, construction materials, transportation materials, and solder. The predominant …
Peru, Bolivia and Brazil, led by Minsur (Peru) and EM Vinto (Bolivia), account for another 20% of mining. Smelting of cassiterite into tin is more concentrated, with China also responsible for processing the artisanal supply from Myanmar. China, Malaysia and Indonesia collectively smelt 70% of tin ore, with Latin America responsible for another ...
Most of the primary tin-tungsten ore deposits in southern Myanmar are typical hydrothermal quartz vein–type, with cassiterite and wolframite as the main ore minerals. Here, we present in situ...
The Bolivian tin belt is a metallogenic province in the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes known for its Sn, W, Ag, and base metal deposits. Cassiterite, which is a major constituent in many magmatic-hydrothermal ore deposits from the Bolivian tin belt, can incorporate dozens of elements within its crystal lattice, making it a useful geological …
A surge in tin production in Myanmar since 2013 has been due to the tin production from the Man Maw Mining District, which amounted to about 2000 tonnes in 2014 (Gardiner et al. 2015). The Man Maw Mining District (locality No. 3 in Fig. 28.1, Table 28.2) is situated in Wa State, an autonomous area on the border with Yunnan in SW China, governed ...
Cassiterite is a tin oxide mineral (SnO 2) and the principal source for tin metal (79.6% Sn). ... Tin mining is focused on the extraction of cassiterite (tin dioxide, SnO 2). ... Virtually all tin in Myanmar's Slate belt occurs as cassiterite and almost all tungsten as wolframite. Scheelite is present in little more than trace amounts.
The Santa Bárbara mine produces about 800 to 1,000 t Sn/year from placers and weathered greisen and represents about 20% of the tin mine output of the Rondônia Tin Province.

The southern Myanmar tin ore district is an important part of the well-known Southeast Asia tin belt (SATB), and hosts numerous economically important primary tin-tungsten ore deposits. However, the timing of formation of these deposits is unclear due to the scarcity of robust age data. The tectonic setting of tin mineralization in this area also …
Cassiterite (SnO 2) is the most important tin-bearing mineral, containing 78.8% tin. Most of the world's tin is obtained by mining cassiterite. Unlike most base metals, economically viable cassiterite deposits are mined in a few regions (Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, Bolivia, and China).

Cassiterite (SnO 2) is the most common tin ore mineral, and it is often found alongside other minerals.Magmatic, hydrothermal, and/or replacement processes produce primary tin deposits. Weathering of primary deposits, followed by movement and deposition of the resultant sediments in a new environment, results in secondary deposits.
The Kuntabin Sn-W deposit, located in southern Myanmar, is characterized by abundant greisen-type and quartz vein-type cassiterite and wolframite mineralization. We have conducted multiple geochronological methods and isotope and trace element analyses to reveal the age and evolution of the Kuntabin magmatichydrothermal system.
