Mineralogy of heavy concentrates from the Majada-Caliente area (Extremadura, Spain)
K.А. Novoselov, I.V. Vasilyev, E.V. Cheremazova, P.V. Khvorov
The heavy concentrates from the Majada-Caliente area (Extremadura, Spain) contain major zircon and iron oxides, abundant anatase, and rare tourmaline, cassiterite, sheelite, cinnabar, and native gold. Taking into account other data, we can suggest the presence of gold and Sn-W mineralization in this area.
