Structural and mineralogical evaluation of the northern part of the Nizná Slaná ore field, the knowledges to inditions on deep-seated continuation of siderite bodies of the exploitated deposits Ignác and Gampe¾

Abstract

In 1996, during research project, the structural and mineralogical research was realized in the exploited Ignac, Gampe¾ and Mano deposits localized in the northern part of the Nižna Slana ore field. On the basis of the structrural analysis, evaluation of mineralogical and lithological relations could be verified inditions on the deep-seated continuation of bodies of the siderite mineralization below the exploited Ignac and Gampel deposits. The knowledge obtained was compared with structural-tectonical data found in the Mano deposit. The experession to optimum location of the drill hole (with project length 450 m and dip 45°) that could verify the inditions of occurrence and extent of the perspective structures with siderite ore in the investigated part of the deposits, is the integral part of this project.
