CARBONATITE DEPOSITS (MODEL 10; Singer, 1986a)Soil, sediment signatures prior to mining Soil and weathered rock associated with carbonatite deposits are likely
The Panda Hill Carbonatite is an apatite and pyrochlore bearing sovite carbonatite located in the Mbeya District of Tanzania. The deposit was found in the mid-1950s by the then Geological Survey of Tanganyika (now Tanzania). Niobium ore occurs largely in pyrochlore bearing sovite (carbonatite composed largely of calcite) and dolmite-rich carbonatite.. The deposit also contains lesser .
The mineralization identified to date within the property boundaries is consistent with magmatic, carbonatite-associated deposits. The Upper Fir and Bone Creek carbonatites are divided into approximately 96% magnesio-carbonatite (beforsite), with minor contained bodies of calcio-carbonatite (sövite) silico-carbonatite (amphibole-rich), carbonatite breccia and fenite up to several metres thick.

Soil, sediment signatures prior to mining Soil and weathered rock associated with carbonatite deposits are likely to be enriched in iron, phosphorous, niobium, and rare earth elements and potentially thorium, uranium, titanium, barium, zirconium, and other elements as well. Potential environmental concerns associated with mineral processing
Approximately >50% of global rare earth element (REE) resources are hosted by carbonatite related deposits, of which monazite is one of the most important REE minerals. Monazite dominates more than 30 carbonatite-related REE deposits around the world, including currently exploited mineralization at Bayan Obo and Mount Weld. These deposits are widely distributed across all continents, except ...

Gold/Auriferous Deposits can be classified into types for which here is a List of 10 Types of Gold Deposits: Auriferous porphyry dykes, sills, and stocks; Auriferous pegmatites; coarse-grained granitic deposits + albitite. Carbonatites and carbonatite-related .
The most common occurrence of REE is associated with carbonatites. The highest REE concentrations are typically encountered in iron-rich dolomitic carbonatite varieties; that is, those with ferroan dolomite to ankerite as the main carbonate phase, sometimes accompanied by siderite.
associated with fluid phases expelled from the carbonatite magmas. The carbonatites can vary laterally and vertically from calcic to dolomitic to iron-rich across a district and within a single carbonatite mass, and there will be associated major variations in accessory minerals. Following primary

Carbonatites seem to be associated with alkaline igneous rocks. The association of carbonatite with such rocks is known as carbonatite complex. This rock sample is ijolite. It is composed of alkali pyroxene (aegirine-augite or aegirine) and nepheline (red). Alnö island, Sweden. Width of sample 5 cm. Viscosity

Alkalic Complexes. Alkalic complexes in Colorado's Wet Mountains and the Powderhorn district near Gunnison, Colorado contain carbonatite and a variety of other exotic rock types. Both complexes contain abundant rare earth elements. Indeed, Powderhorn (also known as Iron Hill) contains the nation's largest volumetric deposit of rare earths as well as the world's largest titanium deposits.
The Cargill Township Carbonatite Complex is one of a series of carbonatite complexes in the region that are hosted by the 1.9 Ga aged Kapuskasing Structural Zone. The carbonatites in the mine area have intruded Archean gneissic granodiorite rocks of the Wawa Subprovince, and metasedimentary rocks of the Quetico Subprovince.
• Carbonatite and peralkaline igneous deposits contain the highest REE concentrations but are exceedingly rare, especially in PA • Co-recovery with other elements or recovery of REE from waste streams may increase economic potential • Abandoned tailings piles from some coal and iron mines may be important resources of REE
The Iron Hill Carbonatite Deposit is near Powderhorn, Colorado. Historically the site has been associated with the White Earth-Powderhorn Mining District which is now part of the Powderhorn Wilderness. The site was first discovered in 1885. Mine operations consist of surface workings extending 80.00 hectares (197.68 acres). There is one known ...
Mining companies in Zambia focus on excerpting copper and uranium, as well as gold, nickel and industrial deposits, which are more limited. For companies interested in mining operations, or the opening of mining companies, in Zambia, the Zambian Ministry of Mines, under which the Chamber of Mines is located, is the first port of call.
