| dc.description.abstract | The Sintok region in Kedah, Malaysia, is known for its tin-tungsten mineralization, particularly at Bukit Kachi, situated within the western Tin belt of Peninsular Malaysia. This study investigates the mineralogy and geochemistry of the Bukit Kachi deposit and other Malaysian tin deposits, including Sg. Lembing, Klian Intan, Pengkalan Hulu North, and Menglembu, to enhance the understanding of tin mineralization in the region. The study employed various analytical techniques, such as XRF, XRD, SEM-EDX, ICPMS, and LA-ICP-MS, to analyze the ore samples, polished sections, and cassiterite grains. XRD analysis revealed the presence of cassiterite, wolframite, and other metallic minerals, while SEM-EDX confirmed the presence of cassiterite-wolframite and trace elements like Fe, As, and Mn. ICP-MS analysis showed a correlation between certain elements and Sn-W mineralization. LA ICP-MS analysis of cassiterite samples from Bukit Kachi and other locations provided insights into trace element compositions and deposit classifications. The findings suggest that the Bukit Kachi deposit is classified as an intrusive or pegmatite tin and tungsten deposit, enriching the understanding of tin-tungsten mineralization in the region and contributing to the development of effective exploration and extraction strategies. | |
