Abstract
SILLITOE has pointed out interesting relationships between tectonic setting and a particular class of tin mineralisation1. Typical mineralisation in these deposits comprises disseminated cassiterite accompanied by topaz, lithia mica, and wolframite in greisens and quartz veins above small subvolcanic alkaline and peralkaline granite plutons which lack demonstrable affiliation with contemporary plate boundaries.
