Abstract
This paper is primarily for those concerned with the search for and exploitation of tin deposits: facts are presented rather than hypotheses. A classification of tin deposits is necessary before the major types can be discussed in a paper of reasonable length. The difficulties of constructing such a classification are noted and a modification of my earlier classification (Hosking, 1979, pp. 25—26) is presented.The major groups, which are sub-divided in the paper, are:
(1) Disseminations other than those in placers and that are not included in the other major groups.
(2) Pegmatites/aplites.
(3) Skarns (pyrometasomatic deposits).
(4) Hydrothermal breccias.
(5) Deposits associated with greisenised and/or albitised country rock.
(6) Stanniferous veins other than those of Group 5.
(7) Lodes of the Cornish type.
(8) Replacement (metasomatic) deposits that cannot be satisfactorily placed in any of the other groups.
(9) Telescoped, mineralogically complex deposits (largely xenothermal or sub-vol canic).
(10) Deposits of the Mexican type (epithermal or fumarole).
(11) Stanniferous massive sulphide and massive iron oxide deposits. (12) ‘Ancient’, variously modified, stanniferous sedimentary deposits. (13) ‘Modern’ placers. The characteristics of the economically important types of deposit within each of these groups are provided, and the observations are supported by reference to specific deposits which have been selected, as far as possible, from those with which the writer has personal experience.
