Summary

The minor elements present in some rocks and minerals of the Rakha mines area, Singhbhum district, Bihar, India, have been determined by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. Geological and geochemical studies in different parts of this shear zone already favour a hydrothermal origin. Some of the minor elements concentrated in the sulphide ores are found in lower concentration in the epidiorite and the chlorite-mica schist; these are, however, present in abundance in the soda-granites that are closely associated in space to the east and west of the Rakha mines area. A genetic link between sulphide ores and soda-granite may be predicted although the sulphides in the Rakha mines area are not directly associated with the soda-granite.
