This sector includes mining of titanium-bearing minerals such as rutile, leucoxene, ilmenite, xenotime and monazite, and the industrial minerals zircon, kyanite and garnet. |
As a crucial strategic resource, it is mainly contained in bastnaesite, xenotime, monazite, and other minerals. |
Zircon, monazite, xenotime and white mica were extracted from the sample. |
Xenotime contains smaller amounts of the radioactive compounds U3O8 and ThO2 than monazite. |
Textures of kyanite, xenotime and monazite, and some staurolite and biotite, indicate that peak metamorphic mineral growth occurred after D 2 deformation. |
One of the rarest of the rare earths, lutetium occurs in rare-earth minerals such as laterite clays, xenotime, and euxenite. |
