This paper presents a discussion on Quebec’s pegmatite lithium resources and potential markets. It also evaluates the opportunities of battery production for electric vehicles (EV) in province while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The shows that mining ore deposits would be sufficient to satisfy province’s demand exporting abroad lithium-ion batteries. By considering only projects whose fina...

Abstract Alumino-oxy-rossmanite, ideally ☐Al3Al6(Si5AlO18)(BO3)3(OH)3O, is here described as a new member of the tourmaline supergroup. It an early magmatic Al-rich oxy-tourmaline from small pegmatitic body embedded in amphibolite and biotite-rich paragneiss. This pink was found Moldanubian pegmatite (of Drosendorf Unit) that occurs large quarry near village Eibenstein der Thaya, Waidhofen Thay...

Rare-element granites and pegmatites represent important sources of raw materials for “clean, green high technologies”, such as lithium tantalum, example. However, mechanisms rare-element pegmatite’s origin are still far from being fully understood. Several pegmatite fields a granite known in the Variscan realms located Iberia (Spain Portugal), enhancing interest this area studying formation th...
