Tin deposits of the Sikhote–Alin and adjacent areas (Russian Far East) and their magmatic association

The Sikhote–Alin accretionary belt along the northwestern Pacific Plate hosts the most important tin province of Russia. Here, more than 500 ore deposits were formed between 105 and 55 Ma at transform and active subduction margins. Petrological models suggest an active role of the mantle in the mineralisation processes. The deposits can be divided into three groups according to their mineral content and associated magmatism. The first group, a...
