AbstractIn one small mineral vein in core from borehole 144-Ż in the Żarki-Kotowice area, almost all of the ore minerals known from related deposits in the vicinity occur. Some of the minerals in the vein described in this paper, namely, nickeline, hessite, native silver and minerals of the cobaltite-gersdorffite group, have not previously been reported from elsewhere in the Kraków-Lubliniec tectonic zone. The identified minerals are chalcopyrite, pyrite, marcasite, sphalerite, Co-rich pyrite, tennantite, tetrahedrite, bornite, galena, magnetite, hematite, cassiterite, pyrrhotite, wolframite (ferberite), scheelite, molybdenite, nickeline, minerals of the cobaltitegersdorffite group, carrollite, hessite and native silver. Moreover, native bismuth, bismuthinite, a Cu- and Ag-rich sulfosalt of Bi (cuprobismutite) and Ni-rich pyrite also occur in the vein. We suggest that, the ore mineralization from the borehole probably reflects post-magmatic hydrothermal activity related to an unseen granitic intrusion located under the Mesozoic sediments in the Żarki-Pilica area.

In the Pohled quarry near Havlíčkův Brod town (central part of Czech Republic), texturally and mineralogically simple contaminated anatectic pegmatites form dikes or irregular bodies cementing breccia of host metamorphic rocks (paragneisses, amphibolites) belonging to the Monotonous (Ostrong) Group of the Moldanubicum of the Bohemian Massif. They exhibit signs of intense hydrothermal overprint and also the presence of abundant disseminations, nests and veinlets of ore minerals. A detailed mineralogical study revealed the presence of an extraordinary rich ore assemblage (20 species in total, including one unnamed phase). The oldest minerals are sphalerite (rich in Fe), löllingite, Fe-Co-Ni sulphoarsenides (cobaltite, glaucodot, arsenopyrite, gersdorffite), pyrrhotite, galena and chalcopyrite, in later portion accompanied by inclusions of Bi-minerals (native bismuth, bismuthinite, joséite-A, joséite-B, ikunolite and a Pb-Bi sulphosalt). The composition of the Pb-Bi sulphosalt is equal to Ag,Fe-substituted eclarite; its identity was confirmed also by Raman spectrum. Pyrite is very abundant phase, present probably in several generations. The Fe-Co-Ni thiospinels disseminated in younger chlorite, and represented by siegenite, violarite, grimmite and an unnamed NiFe2S4 phase, are the youngest ore minerals. The mineral association as well as chemical composition of most ore minerals are well comparable to those of local polymetallic ore veins and Alpine-type veins, which give evidence for identical origin of all these ore mineralizations. The formation of pegmatite-hosted ore assemblage was long-lasting multiphase process, which took place at temperatures between ca. 350 and <120 °C during changing fugacities of sulphur, tellurium and oxygen. A distinct enrichment in cobalt and nickel of ore mineralization hosted by pegmatites (in comparison with hydrothermal veins) is explained in terms of pronounced interactions of fluids with amphibolites and serpentinites.

The results of studying the mineralogy of metamorphic schists from the Pre-Jurassic base of the Arctic part of the West Siberian plate are presented. The accessory and ore mineralization of schists from the Zapadno-Yarotinsky license area located in the southern part of the Yamal Peninsula is studied. The schists was uncovered by the Zapadno-Yarotinskaya No. 300 well at a depth of 2762 m. Above the section, the metamorphic rocks are overlain by a young Meso-Cenozoic cover. The schists are mainly composed of quartz, plagioclase (albite), carbonates (dolomite and siderite), mica (muscovite) and chlorite (donbassite). The discovered accessory and ore minerals in the metamorphic schists of the Zapadno-Yarotinsky area can be divided into two groups. The first group includes minerals that were formed during the metamorphism of schists, or were preserved as detrital matter. These minerals include zircon, fluorapatite, and rutile as the most stable compounds. The remaining mineralization (pyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, cubanite, galena, cobaltite, barite, xenotime-(Y), goyazite, synchysite-(Nd), native silver and copper) is clearly secondary and was formed as a result of superimposed metasomatic processes. Judging from the described mineralogy, the schists underwent changes as a result of superimposed propyllitization. The temperature range of this process is determined by the formation of cubanite in association with chalcopyrite at a temperature of 200-210 оС.

The article shows the Verba ore mineralization of molybdenum (Volyn Block of the Ukrainian Shield) is associated with small granite intrusions. They are located in the south-eastern exocontact zone of the Ustynivka granite massif of the Paleoproterozoic Chisinau complex. The Verba minera­lization is a linear-coarse mineralized zone of the complex structure. This is confirmed by the development in its rocks of frequent, non-orientated veins of quartz, fluorite-quartz and carbonate-quartz compositions and numerous cracks. They have molybdenite and concomitant mineralization, as well as the wide spreading of molybdenite inclusions directly in the granites. A number of differently oriented faults and of small fracturing local zones, cataclasite, millonitized and breccias represents the internal structure of the mineralized zone. The characteristic of molybdenite the leading ore minerals is shown. It is morphologically represented by a closely connected scattered inclusions, rarely veined inclusions, and associated ore minerals: cassiterite, bismuth, native bismuth, emlectocytes, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, ilmenite, magnetite and titanomagnetite.

In the area north of Mladoňov, which is built by phyllites and quartzites of the Vrbno Group and granite-derived phyllonites of the Desná Group (Silesicum, northern part of the Bohemian Massif), there were found two types of hydrothermal ore mineralization in vein material sampled from remnants of old mining/prospection. The Cu(-Bi-Au) mineralization hosted by quartz gangue was found at the locality Husarčina šachta. A main ore mineral is chalcopyrite, which contains inclusions of pyrite, native bismuth, bismuthinite, a phase close to bismite, and native gold with fineness of 717 - 818. Baryte, recorded in part of collected samples, probably represents a significantly younger hypogene mineralization. Supergene minerals include malachite, azurite, a phase close to chrysocolla, bornite, Cu-sulphides, tenorite, native copper, limonite and probably also cuprite. A quartz-pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization with accessory arsenopyrite and xenotime-(Y) and supergene limonite and baryte was recorded at localities Husarčina šachta and Kopka. Sporadically, Fe-sulphides contain elevated contents of Au (measurable by means of an electron microprobe), probably due to submicroscopic inclusions of native gold. Gold could be leached from wall rocks by ore fluids and/or remobilized from older mineralization to the younger one. The presence of traces of Cr, Co and Ni in some ore minerals implies for wider circulation of parent fluids involving probably also basic or ultrabasic rocks.

Haman, Gunbuk, and Daejang deposits are neighboring vein-type hydrothermal Cu deposits located in the SE part of the Korean Peninsula. These three deposits are formed by magmatic-hydrothermal activity associated with a series of Cretaceous granodioritic intrusions of the Jindong Granitoids, which have created a series of veins and alterations in a hornfelsed shale formation. The copper deposits have common veining and alteration features: 1) a pervasive chlorite-epidote alteration, cut by 2) Cu-Pb-Zn-bearing quartz veins with a tourmaline-biotite alteration, and 3) the latest barren calcite veins. Chalcopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite are common ore minerals in the three deposits. Whereas magnetite is a dominant mineral in the Haman and Gunbuk deposits, no magnetite is present, but sphalerite and galena are abundant in the Daejang deposit. Ore-bearing quartz veins have three types of fluid inclusions: 1) liquid-rich, 2) vapor-rich, and 3) brine inclusions. Hydrothermal temperatures obtained from the brine inclusion assemblages are about 340–600, 250–500, and 320–460°C in the Haman, Gunbuk, and Daejang deposits, respectively. The maximum temperatures (from 460 to 600°C) recorded in the fluid inclusions of the three deposits are higher than those of the Cu ore precipitating temperature of typical porphyry-like deposits (from 300 to 400°C). Raman spectroscopy of vapor inclusions showed the presence of CO2 and CH4 in the three deposits, which indicates relatively reduced hydrothermal conditions as compared with typical porphyry deposits. The Rb/Sr ratios and Cs concentrations of brine inclusions suggest that the Daejang deposit was formed by a later and more fractionated magma than the Haman and Gunbuk deposits, and the Daejang deposit has lower Fe/Mn ratios in brine inclusions than the Haman and Gunbuk deposits, which indicates contrasting redox conditions in hydrothermal fluids possibly caused by an interaction with a hosting shale formation. In brines, concentrations of base metals do not change significantly with temperature, which suggests that significant ore mineralization precipitation is unlikely below current exposure levels, especially at the Haman deposit. Ore and alteration mineral petrography and fluid inclusions suggest that the Haman deposit was formed near the top of the deep intrusion center, whereas the Gunbuk deposit was formed at a shallower intrusion periphery. The Daejang deposit was formed later at a shallow depth by relatively fractionated magma.

An interesting ore mineralization containing Pb-Bi minerals, present in a thin layer parallel with schistosity of the host amphibolite, was newly recognized in the Libodřice quarry near Kolín (Kutná Hora Crystalline Complex, Czech Republic). The disseminations of ore minerals are formed especially by pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite, less pyrite and accessory galena, native bismuth, cosalite, bismuthinite and joséite-B. The equilibrium textural relationships of rock-forming silicates and main sulphides indicate that the ore assemblage underwent metamorphic recrystallization together with the host rock, however, indications of younger local re-equilibrations under changed physico-chemical conditions (especially temperature, fugacity of sulphur, fugacity of oxygen) were also observed. The presence of polysynthetic lamellae in chalcopyrite suggests for its origin/re-crystallization at temperatures above 550 °C. Sporadic cosalite, stable at temperatures below 425 °C, was probably precursor of pseudomorphs today formed by galena and native bismuth. Pseudomorphs originated at temperatures below 271 °C probably due to local decrease of sulphur fugacity caused by growth of associated pyrrhotite. The local sulphurisation of small amount of native bismuth to bismuthinite and small part of pyrrhotite to pyrite finished the process of ore evolution. The presence of elevated contents of Te, Se and Ni in the studied mineralization confirms the source of these elements in the host rock environment, which was presupposed on the basis of earlier mineralogical study of Alpine-type veins in the area of the Kutná Hora Crystalline Complex.

The research deals with drill core samples collected during exploration of copper in the Weisswasser area in Saxony. The area is the north-western part of the North-Sudetic Basin, the lithostratigraphic section of which is similar to the typical one known from the Lubin district. As a result of mineralogical observations using reflected light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, the following minerals were identified: chalcopyrite, chalcocite, bornite, digenite, galena, sphalerite, native silver, Ag-amalgams, mckinstyite, anilite and betechtinite. Detailed characteristics of the occurrence of sulphide mineralization is presented, describing its form, mutual inclusions and paragenesis, relationship to microtectonic conditions, as well as implications of morphological changes on the bottom of the Zechstein. Three forms of mineralization were found: (1) horizontal, mid-layered copper sulphide lenses formed by hydraulic peeling along the sludge lamination surfaces caused by mineralized high-pressure solutions, (2) horizontal copper sulphide lenses replacing previous framboidal pyrite lenses, and (3) replacement of bioclasts. Copper sulphides were concentrated at the expense of sulphur deposited during sedimentation and early diagenesis as bacterial pyrite. Ore mineralization occurs in the thin horizon with an extensive microtectonic net. Two tectonic episodes can be distinguished: Mesozoic tectonic events that enabled seismic pumping of hot fluids, and microfractures that developed during ore minerals precipitation. Futhermore, single sharp-edged grains of chalcopyrite disturbing lamination of copper shale are observed. It indicates the displacement of grains from crushed conglomerate and resedimentation together with copper shale.

Tulakan Subdistrict, Pacitan Regency, East Java Province. This area is part of the Southern Mountain Zone of East Java, which is the Sunda-Banda magmatic arc of Oligo-Miocene age, where there are alterations and indications of valuable ore minerals. Field magnetic data is taken in an area of 1 x 1 km, with the looping method on the grid trajectory within 200 x 100 m. Then, magnetic data correction and data processing were carried out with Oasis Montaj. From the magnetic anomaly map, the value of high magnetic intensity in the southern part is fresh (intrusive) andesit-dasitic rock as host rock which causes alteration, in the middle has a low magnetic intensity value which is in the direction of the relatively NE-SW river direction, whereas in the north with high intensity is fresh andesite lava. From the image data, it can be seen that the straightness pattern of the geological structure which is dominated by the extensional structure with the direction of NE-SW and E-W is the main trap of epithermal veins carrying ore mineralization mainly Cu, Pb in the study area.

Composition of granites, genetically associated pegmatites and superimposed metasomatites distributed within Shpoliano-Tashlyk ore area (Ingul megablock) is considered. It is established, that on the basis of similarity in their petrographic and petrochemical features granitoids of the area can be related to single complex. Features of ore mineralization are defined by both composition of granitoids (Sgranites) after which rare-metal pegmatites are formed and intensity of superimposed metasomatic alterations. Main minerals-concentrators of Ta and Nb mineralization in granitic pegmatites and metasomatites are represented by minerals of three isomorphic series – columbite-tantalite (Fe,Mn)(Nb,Ta,Ti)2O6, ilmenorutile-struverite (Ti,Nb,Ta)O2 and pyrochlore-microlite (Ca,Na)2Ta2O6(O,B,OH,F). Depending on geological setting such ore minerals as tapiolite, ixiolite, cassiterite, uraninite, nigerite, gahnite are commonly found in association with these minerals. Chemical composion of tantalo-niobates sampled from ore-bearing pegmatites and metasomatites is investigated by microprobe analysis. Most minerals of columbite-tantalite series are characterized by distinct and rhythmic internal zonality and contrasting mosaic structure which are related to considerable heterogeneities of their chemical composition. Within one aggregate mineral phases with wide range of values – from 9,80 to 71,0 % for Ta2O5 and from 10,6 to 70,1 % for Nb2O5 – are established. Among minerals ferruginous varieties which composition relates to Fe-columbite-tantalites (Nb2O5/Ta2O5 = 1–1,2; FeO/MnO = 2,5–6) prevail. Columbite-tantalites are characterised by high contents of admixture elements present (%): TiO2 – to 5,88; WO3 – to 3,70; SnO2 – to 9,20; Sc2O3 – to 5,40. Scandium ores occur as scandium-rich minerals that are mostly confined to the minerals of columbite-tantalite series found in Polohivka ore field. On the Ukrainian Shield high contents of Sc2O3 in tantalo-niobates are established for the first time. Minerals of ilmenorutile-struverite series do not quantitatively yield to minerals of columbite-tantalite series. For minerals of this series Nb2O5/Ta2O5 ratio varies in the range of 0,6-1,4. Among characteristic admixture-elements are prevailed (%): SnO2 – to 3,1, V2O5 – to 5,05; FeO – to 11,51, Cr2O3 – to 1,20. Minerals of pyrochlore-microlite series are of subordinate importance. For the first time by results of U-Pb dating of columbite-tantalites from Mostove ore manifestation (Shpoliano-Tashlyk area) the age of Ta-Nb mineralization is established to be about 1965 ± 25 million years.
