Cassiterite consists of non magnetic particles stannic oxide SnO2 and magnetic particles ferrous tungstate FeWO4.

The beneficiation of Cassiterite (tinstone) can be carried out by gravity separation and magnetic separation. The ore is crushed to a fine powder and concentrated by gravity separation by washing with current of water when most of the lighter gangue particles are removed. And, Ores made up of magnetic and non-magnetic particles can be separated by magnetic separation. In this method, magnetic particles get attracted towards a magnet leaving a non-magnetic part.
