Abstract

The importance of conducting mineralogo-technological studies at tin deposits is discussed using ore from the Praviurminskoye deposit as an example. Data on the textural-structural characteristics, composition and mode of occurrence of valuable components are reported. They show that the ores are difficult to dress. It is shown why the application of technological mineralogy methods is essential at all stages in the development of tin deposits using up-to-date analytical methods.
