Minerals, Volume 15, Issue 12

The Jiulongnao W–Sn ore field in the eastern Nanling Range is characterized by large-scale early Yanshanian magmatic activity and W–Sn mineralization. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the close relationship between...

The exploration of marine minerals, essential for sustainable development, requires advanced techniques for accurate resource delineation. The self-potential (SP) method, sensitive to mineral polarization, has been increasingly deployed using autonom...

Pt-Fe alloys with abundant inclusions are from the Camumbi River placer deposit, Ecuador. They are derived from unknown Alaskan–Uralian-type intrusion(s) within the Late Cretaceous Naranjal accreted terrane. Compositions of our previously docum...

Rock art in the Albarracín Cultural Park represents one of Spain’s most significant concentrations of post-Paleolithic paintings, yet comprehensive chemical characterization across multiple shelters remained lacking. This study analyzes...

Mineralogy has traditionally developed within the context of Earth, the most accessible planetary body and our primary natural laboratory [...]

Sandstone-hosted uranium deposits represent one of the most critical global uranium resources suitable for in situ recovery, with their formation closely associated with organic matter (OM). We conducted a systematic literature review to synthesize o...

The Southwestern Fujian Region is one of the important Fe polymetallic metallogenic belts in China. The Makeng-Yangshan Fe skarn sub-belt within it contains several deposits that share a similar geological setting, mineralization age, and genetic typ...

The shale oil reservoirs of Member 7 of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Longdong Area of the Ordos Basin have attracted widespread attention due to their unique geological characteristics and enormous development potential. As the core factor...

Mid-Neoproterozoic magmatism provides important constraints for revealing the break-up history of the Rodinia supercontinent. Large-sized mid-Neoproterozoic magmatic rocks are distributed within the Dabie Orogen located on the northern Yangtze Block....

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of novel kaolinite niobium and kaolinite titanium niobium nanocomposites and their application as heterogeneous photocatalysts. Utilizing a hydrolytic sol–gel route, we combined kaolinite w...
