 — Potential heavy mineral resource availability. The current study examined potential heavy mineral placer deposits in Sri Lanka (Fig. 1).Heavy mineral placers are found to occur mainly along the northeast coastline of Sri Lanka such as Pulmoddai, Mulativu, Nayaru, Vakarei, Verugal, and Thirukkovil (Fig. 1).Almost all of these deposits …

 — The only known occurrence of carbonatite in Sri Lanka is found in the Eppawala area of North-central Sri Lanka. The occurrence was first reported by Jayawardane (1976).The carbonatites occur as massive intrusions, scattered within high-grade Precambrian metamorphic rocks (Fig. 1).The actual extent of the intrusion has yet …

 — Sri Lanka is rich in industrial minerals, including graphite, apatite, ilmenite, rutile, quartz, feldspar, kaolin, apatite, garnet sand, mica, calcite, and dolomite.

Kiruna-type iron oxide–apatite associations occur in a variety of rock types and their origin has remained controversial. Most of the Kiruna-type deposits are associated with intermediate to felsic rocks, and in rare cases with ultramafic rocks. Here we investigate the Seruwila iron oxide–apatite deposit at the contact between the Highland and Vijayan …
