Extract

The following notes on some peculiar forms of cassiterite found in the Malay Peninsula will, it is hoped, prove of interest and an addition to our knowledge of the mineral.

It is now well known that the most effective method of separating wolframite from eassiterite on a commercial scale is the electromagnetic process, which, in theory, lifts all the wolframite from the ore and lèaves a concentrate of cassiterite. In practice, however, the separation is rarely, if ever, perfect; and it has been possible for the writer to obtain some interesting information bearing on the point, the most valuable being the discovery of a few specimens of cassiterite that may be termed magnetic in that it can be lifted by an electromagnet.
