Critical Minerals from Post-Processing Tailing. A Case Study from Bangka Island, Indonesia by Karol Zglinicki, Krzysztof Szamałek, Stanisław Wołkowicz

“…Geological and mineralogical examinations on Bangka have permitted an economic appraisal of tailings from the processing of cassiterite-bearing sands and confirmed the presence of REE-bearing minerals, chiefly monazite and xenotime, zircon, ilmenite, rutile, niobium-tantalum phases. In general, the mineral content of the tailings varies depending on the sampling site and the type of processing used during ore-production. …”
