LITHIUM IN THE SUBSOIL OF UKRAINE Part 1. Distribution and forms of finding lithium in mineral complexes of Ukraine

In order to consistently highlight the distribution and forms of finding lithium in subsoil Ukraine, its geochemistry mineralogy, genetic types deposits ore occurrences, mineralogical criteria methods their search evaluation, authors have planned a series articles. The first part quantitatively qualitatively analyzed Li occurrence existing prospective objects — Volyn deposit, Perzhansky district, rare-metal granites Azov region Korosten pluton, pegmatites Shpolyansk-Tashlytsky (Inguletsky megablock), hydrothermal Nagolny ridge (Donbas). lithium-concentrating minerals these objects, according our data, are following: spodumene, petalite, evcryptite, tourmaline, holmquistite, Li-Al micas isomorfic (muscovite-lepidolite), Li-Fe isomorphic (anite (lepidomelan) or siderophyllite, protolithionite, zinnwaldite, cryophyllite, lepidolite), margarite, donbasite, kukeite, polylithionite (?), tainiolite, tryphyllite, amblygonite, simferite.
