Abstract

Promising zones of tungsten are reported for the first time in Ramagiri-Penakacherla schist hell at Atmahru, Balepalyam and Penukonda areas. The mineralisation occurs as disseminations, tringers and fracture fillings of scheelite. Fourteen scheelite bearing quartz-pegnlatite veins have been delineated in Balepalyam block. WO₃ values range from 10 ppm to 5.86%. The association of other clrments like tin, antimony, arsenic, gold and bismuth suggest a possible minerological zoning and multimetal prospects in the schist belt.
