 INTRODUCTION
Granite is a common type of intrusive, felsic, igneous
rock body.
Tin is a chemical element with symbol Sn.
And its atomic number is 50.
Tin is obtained chiefly from the mineral casseterite,
where it occurs as tin-dioxide.
Uranium is one of the more common element in earth
crust.
Uranium ore deposit are available in economically
recoverable concenterations within the earth’s crust.

Two more ore types clearly related to the intrusion of
intermediate to felsic plutons are known as tin granites
and granitic uranium deposits.
 CLASSIFICATION
According to Chappel and White (1974) the granite
petrographically classified as
I –type and S-type granite.

These are the two distinct major suites of granitic rocks

occur throught the world’s orogenic belt.

Porphyry copper, molybdenum, and tin

deposits are associated with I-Type granitoid rocks.
