— Fortunately, wolframite is the most common ore mineral in the hydrothermal W deposits from this region (e.g., Zhao et al., 2017) and commonly contains low to moderate U contents ranging from several to tens of ppm (e.g., Xiong et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2018). Thus, in situ U–Pb dating of wolframite by LA-ICPMS may help to determine …
— Since wolframite generally contains trace common Pb–rich mineral inclusions (such as scheelite, galena, sphalerite and sulfides) and it is very difficult or impossible to avoid these mineral inclusions, the widespread use of wolframite ID–TIMS U–Pb dating has been hindered (Romer and Luders, 2006, Pfaff et al., 2009, Harlaux et al., 2018 ...

Metallic mineral associations in ore veins mainly include wolframite, scheelite, cassiterite, bismuthinite, native bismuth, telluride, sphalerite, galena, pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite. ...
— There are two opinions on the role of CO 2 in tungsten mineralization. One is that CO 2 is an essential component of the hydrothermal fluid of wolframite–quartz vein–type tungsten deposits (Macey and Harris, 2006, Wang et al., 2010, Naumov et al., 2011), as reflected by CO 2-rich fluid inclusions commonly preserved in quartz (Higgins, …
— 2. Mineral deposits. Mineral deposit is a mineralization (referring to an area of the crust where ores were deposited) of sufficient size and grade (concentration), which under favorable circumstances could be exploited with economic benefits, which has sufficient reserves [].The concentration of the metals in the deposits varies widely in a …

— In-situ U–Pb dating of wolframite from the Dongping deposit yields the age of 129.5 ± 4.8 Ma.. In-situ U–Pb dating of wolframite from the Dahutang deposit by LA-SF-ICP-MS yields the age of 137.3 ± 4.8 Ma.. Two significant quartz-wolframite veining events occurred at ∼130 Ma and ∼140 Ma in the Jiangnan W metallogenic belt.
— Tungsten (W) ore deposits can contain a variety of tungsten-bearing minerals, but the most common ones are scheelite (CaWO4) and wolframite [(Fe,Mn)WO4]. These minerals are the primary sources of …
Wolframite, chief ore of tungsten, commonly associated with tin ore in and around granite. Such occurrences include Cornwall, Eng.; northwestern Spain and northern Portugal; eastern Germany; Myanmar (Burma); the Malay Peninsula; and Australia. Wolframite consists of a mixture in varying proportions
— The Baishitouwa deposit is a medium-scale quartz–wolframite vein-type deposit in the southern Great Xing'an Range tungsten (W) belt. The W mineralization occurs mainly as veins and ...
— Wolframite, (Fe,Mn)WO 4, is a constant companion of cassiterite in many tin deposits, especially in hydrothermal veins that display relatively simple mineral assemblages with quartz, cassiterite, wolframite and minor tourmaline of the dark schorl variety, closely resembling wolframite in hand specimen. In contrast to cassiterite, …
Wolframite Meanings, Zodiacs, Planets, Elements, Colors, Chakras, and more. Science & Origin of WolframiteWolframite is an iron manganese tungsten mineral that crystallizes in striated, tabular, and prismatic crystals, as well as bladed clusters, granular, and masses. ... The largest deposit of this mineral is within China, where it is believed ...

Detailed description, properties, and locality information guide about the tungsten mineral wolframite.
We present an analytical protocol for in situ U–Pb isotope dating of wolframite series minerals [(Fe,Mn)WO 4], the main ore mineral for tungsten, by LA-SF-ICP-MS. Precision and accuracy of the protocol was intensively assessed using our newly developed well-characterized U–Pb wolframite reference material.The tungsten oxide interference on …
— It is noteworthy that most of these deposits only contain wolframite as economic ore mineral. However, the discovery of the Yuxin skarn type scheelite deposit around the Yaogangxian wolframite vein type W deposit provide a new possibility for exploring associated deposit (Hsu, 1957). More and more scheelite-skarn type has been …
— State Key Laboratory for Mineral Deposits Research, Institute of Geo-Fluids, School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing, 210023 China. ... Fluid inclusion studies indicate that wolframite was most likely deposited during cooling from an initial H 2 O + NaCl ± CO 2 magmatic fluid. In addition, fluid-phase separation ...
— Wolframite is the mineral hosting W reserve in the Tiantangshan deposit, and thus, the timing of W mineralization is directly estimated by the U-Pb dating of wolframite in this study. Wolframite in the W ore bodies (wolframite-cassiterite quartz veins) of the Tiantangshan deposit was identified with two stages, i.e., Wolf I and Wolf II ( Fig. 3 ...

— 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 …
