The Sandudden tungsten deposit
Abstract Bergslagen in central Sweden comprises the most important known tungsten province in Scandinavia. The Sandudden deposit is situated 8 km west of Grangesberg in the county of Kopparberg. Scheelite occurs in several skarn-limestone layers close to an intrusion of late Svecokarelian granite. An epigenetic model is suggested for the formation of the tungsten-rich skarn. The ore forming solutions probably emanated from a granitic magma beneath the supracrustal rocks.
