Chhattisgarh
is the only tin producing State in India. Tin ore is
known as cassiterite, which was reported in Dantewara
district (Bastar district in formerly Madhya Pradesh)
by the Directorate of Geology and Mining associated
with the lepidolite bearing pegmatites. Cassiterite
bearing pegmatites are reportedly rich in collumbite
and tantalite, which are ore of rare metals niobium
and tantalum, respectively. Lepidolite is also a
source of rare alkali metals namely lithium (Li
<2.15%) cesium (Cs <0.83%) and rubidium (Rb <5.9%).
