A preliminary evaluation of the nonfuel mineral potential of Somalia Author: Greenwood, W.R. Year: 1982 Category: Report Additional exploration in Somalia is warranted for a wide variety of metallic and nonmetallic deposits. In Precambrian rocks, deposit types favorable for exploration include: a banded iron formation; platinum-bearing mafic-ultramafic complexes; tin-bearing quartz veins; phosphorite; stratabound base-metal deposits; uranium associated with Precambrian(?) syenite; apatite, molybdenum, and alumina in alkalic rocks; Jurassic and Cretaceous black shales; possible bedded-barite and massive base- and precious-metal sulfide deposits; vein barite in Tertiary rocks in fault zones; sepiolite and bentonit Tags: usgs, quartz mining metallurgy Source: ://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1982/0788/plate-1.pdf
