文摘
- •
Manganese (oxyhydr)oxide minerals are known to scavenge base metals.
- •
Ferromanganese crusts are widespread in semi-arid Western Australia.
- •
Ferromanganese crusts were sampled from 2 known zinc deposits.
- •
Selective leach and analysis of Mn oxide minerals in crusts show high Zn concentrations close to deposits.
- •
Findings have implications for geochemical exploration for Zn mineralization.
