Geology of Marwat Alimikan quartz deposits  
Marwat Alimikan area is situated at Bernice-Aswan district in the southern part of the Eastern 
Desert. The quartz deposits of Marwat Alimikan area appear as intrusive bodies within the 
granodiorite rocks. Three quartz bodies occur as conspicuous high cones surrounded by flat surface 
of wadi deposit forming triangle feature. The three quartz bodies of Marwat Alimikan area are 
delineated by latitudes 23°52'48"–23°53'30" N and longitudes 35°06'09"–35°08'48" E (Fig.1). 
Quartz in the three bodies is milky white in color, jointed, fractured and stained by iron oxides 
along the fissures and cracks, while the entire quartz bodies are iron free. The quartz bodies vary in 
their height from 30 to more than 50 m and diameter from 100 to 120 m. The dimensions of the first 
quartz body (M
1
) are 60m×60m×150m, which give about 1,400,000 tons. The dimensions of the 
second quartz body (M
2
) are 30m×80m×120m, which give about 750,000 tons. The dimensions of 
the third quartz body (M
3
) are 60m×60m×100m, which give about 950,000 tons. In general the 
geological resources of the three quartz bodies are about 3 million tons. Two of these quartz bodies 
of the area were quarried, while the third is not quarried until now.

Geochemical, thermal and petrophysical characteristics of Marwat Alimikan quartz 
deposits 
The chemical composition, thermal, and petrophysical properties of raw quartz are the most 
important starting investigations serving as bases for assessing both the quality of a deposit and the 
potential uses of the raw materials contained therein. It provides valuable results to the probable 
processing steps required and the potential product grades achievable. The success assessment of 
each individual processing step is verified by chemical analyses. The chemical analysis is the bases 
on which all further approaches are decided. Mineralogical examinations are required even during 
the course of processing, and are needed for developing target-oriented procedures to remove 
mineral or liquid inclusions, thereby ensuring increased purity of the product.
