Interest in gold–antimony deposits is caused by the discovery of large objects of this type in many metallogenic provinces of the world, e.g., in Russia (Yakutia), South Africa (Zimbabwe), Vietnam, Australia, China, etc. Most frequently, such deposits occur in carbonaceous–terrigenous strata, sometimes spatially related to granitoid …

Another source of nickel comes as a by-product from the processing of PGMs. ANTIMONY Verified deposits of antimony occur in the greenstone belts in central Zimbabwe. Antimony is one of the minerals growing in strategic importance.
Antimony is an important mineral commodity used widely in modern industrialized societies. The element imparts strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance to alloys that are used in many areas of industry, including in lead-acid storage batteries. Antimony's leading use is as a fire retardant in safety equipment and in goods, such as …

The southern Tibet Au Sb metallogenic belt in the Himalayan orogen consists of more than 50 gold, gold–antimony and antimony lode deposits, and associated placer gold deposit. The deposits are hosted in a Mesozoic metamorphosed turbidite sequence of the Indian passive continental margin. The Zhemulang Au deposit, Mazhala Au Sb …
Antimony is a little-known metalloid commonly used in lead-acid batteries and fire retardants, and while deposits are found worldwide, China's large resource, low cost of production and significant processing capacity has seen the country dominate market supply. However, a new plant opening in Oman aims to take significant market …

the historic Yellow Pine deposit, which is a gold-antimony epithermal deposit in central Idaho. The Sunshine Mine, in the Coeur d'Alene mining district in northern Idaho, was the sole domestic producer of antimony from the late 1990s until early 2001. However, the tripling of antimony prices between 2009
For more than a century, Alaska's gold districts have been hailed for their potential to host economically viable deposits of antimony. "It has long been known that stibnite, the sulfide of antimony and the principal source of that metal, is widely distributed in Alaska," Alfred Brooks penned in a 1917 report, Antimony deposits of Alaska. ...
Zimbabwe has the potential of being a major player in global diamond production. Platinum Group Metals 1.4 There are over 4 000 recorded gold deposits, nearly all of them located on ancient workings. The country remains under-explored to discover new deposits as well as realising full potential of known deposits. More than 90%
The Mashava area (formerly Mashaba) has produced just less than 7000 kg of gold from late in the last century to 1964. Gold has been obtained from every major lithology in the area, including the oldest Tokwe gneisses, Sebakwian greenstones and banded iron formations (BIF); the Mushandike granite; the Mashaba Igneous Complex; Bulawayan …
The Kwekwe district comprises the central part of the Archean Midlands greenstone belt of Zimbabwe and represents one of few Archean gold provinces in the world hosting gold deposits associated with massive antimony mineralization. The deposits typically occur along late Archean transcrustal deformation zones. Mineralization is characterized by ...
Idaho and Alaska have stepped up to meet America's strategic antimony needs in the past, and host rich deposits of the heat-resisting metal that could help fill current and future critical needs. War hero. Antimony's flame and heat resistant properties elevated this metalloid to hero status during World War II.
The gold deposits occur as quartz veins filing fractures or as impregnations in shear zones. A few gold deposits are hosted in shear zones that are oblique to the regional deformation and cut across different lithologies. ... Foster, R.P. and Wilson, J.F. (1984) Geological setting of Archaean gold deposits in Zimbabwe, 521–551. In Foster, R.P ...
Historically significant for its military applications, antimony is increasingly gaining popularity as an essential component of clean energy technologies. Despite its designation as a critical mineral in the US, Canada, Australia and the EU, antimony remains largely unknown. Although it may seem less popular than its hyped-up …

Antimony, a toxic metalloid similar to arsenic, is present at variable levels in most gold-bearing rocks. Antimony is soluble in the surface environment, so antimony (Sb) mobilization in mine waters is an environmental issue around gold mines. The Reefton gold mine was originally developed in gold-bearing quartz veins; Sb concentrations were …
