An Investigation of Lithium Distribution in Certain Precambrian Iron Formations
Precambrian iron formations from N.W. Ontario and Melville Peninsula, District of Franklin, were analyzed for Li and major elements. The N.W. Ontario samples contain little Li (0.46 to 5.88 ppm) but high percentages of mafic silicates (20 to 50%). The Melville Peninsula samples show the opposite, ha...
