Tin
Geochemical Symbol: Sn
Typical Detection Limit (Aqua Regia/ICP): 10-20 ppm NOTE: common tin-bearing minerals resist strong-acid digestion
Typical Detection Limit (Neutron Activation): 0.01%
Detectability
Distributions generally heavily truncated (censored): typical data set would contain no values above detection limit
Exploration Geochemical Applications
1. As a Pathfinder
None at typical concentration levels and detection limits
2. As an Aid to Geological Mapping
None at typical concentration levels and detection limits
