The district of Enaras extends between Fuentes de Oñoro (Salamanca, Spain) and Poço Velho (Guarda, Portugal) on the East Portuguese Spanish-border and is part of the CIZ. In the Enaras area, we find a typical Sn-Ta-Nb-Li mineralisation disseminated in a leucogranite with late muscovite. On the northeast edge of the area, there are also some minor tin mineralisations in quartz veins and cassiterite + ilmenite-bearing alluvium. The area is mainly composed of biotite granites belonging to the “Guarda batholith” and some leucogranites composing the Enaras massif.
