Cassiterite greisens and veins related to the Hnilec granite

Tin mineralisation of the Hnilec granite, in the Slovak Ore Mountains; samples supplied by P. Kodera and J. Majzlan. First tin isotope data on this deposit (Mathur et al., 2024), who suggest it as a source of 10th-century tin objects in Poland. Indicative coordinates.
