Abstract

This paper presents the resources of the most significant mineral deposits of the Suwałki region, NE Poland (Fig. 1). The deposits are described in a stratigraphic sequence, from the oldest Precambrian ones in the crystalline basement, to the youngest ones in the Quaternary formations. Ilmenite-magnetite ores from the region of Krzemianka, Udryn, Jeleniewo, and Jezioro Okrągłe in the Suwałki Massif are presented, as well as veiny ilmenite-sulphide nelsonites from the vicinity of Łopuchowo. Next, the occurrences of elements, mainly TR-bearing ones, from the Elk and Tajno Massifs are discussed. Water resources and different kinds of sands and gravels from Quaternary deposits of the Suwałki region complete this presentation.
