A couple of years back I led an expedition to Ankang in Sha'anxi and to Buoluono PGM locality in Hebei and collected a lot of material. The aim is to complete the mineralogical suites for these localities and would require analysis.
The location was known as the secret "Locality X", which is also known as the Hongshila PGE Deposit in Fengning County, Hebei Province. The coordinates are 41 10 08 N, 117 16 17 E, elevation 813 m.a.s.l. The material consist of about 23 different rock types and sub-types. I am looking to complete a paper on the mineralogy of the locality. I made some headway but then one of my key collaborators had to leave the project and it has been on hold.
Please, I would like to know what kind of analysis you are planning for your samples.
I have expertise in SCXRD investigations and crystal-chemistry studies. If you think that structural investigation can contribute to your project, maybe I could be interested to a collaboration.
I can carryout detailed petrographic studies and related studies. You may contact me with full details at [email protected]. I am stationed in Hyderabad, India
