An electron microprobe study has been carried out on platinum-group minerals, accessory phases, and chromite in several chromite deposits of the Alapaevsk ophiolite (Central Urals, Russia) namely the Bakanov Kluch, Kurmanovskoe, Lesnoe, 3-d Podyony Rudnik, Bol’shaya Kruglyshka, and Krest deposits. These deposits occur in partially to totally serpentinized peridotites. The microprobe data shows ...

• Skarn-type mineralization of the Cuonadong Sn-W-Be polymetallic deposit occurred at ca. 15 Ma. Skarn-hosted scheelite can be divided into an older type 1 and a younger 2 scheelite. The ore-forming fluid was exsolved from Miocene leucogranite. Geochemically isotopically, modified by intense fluid-rock interaction during skarnization greisenization. is first rare-metal with extraordinary metall...
