Abstract | Off the coast between St. Ages Head and Portreath there exists an extensive sheet of medium- to fine-grained sand, enriched in tin in the surface horizon. Two vibrocores from this area indicated tin enrichment down to about 0.75-m depth, but the tin content in the surficial sedimet decreases from this area both seawards and towards the coast. Towards the supposed offshore extension of the Towanwrath tin lode the basal sediment enrichment is, however, much lower than in the surficial sediment because the latter is affected by recent secondary tin dispersion from land through the discharge of mine tailings offshore by streams. -from Author |
