Relations of the hydrothermal mineralisation to the structures in the Rudòany ore field

Abstract

In the area of the Rudòany ore field (NE part of Spišsko – gemerské Ore Mts, Slovakia) the hydrothermal vein mineralisation is connected with cleavage planes, faults and with host - rocks boundaries. As a rule vein-type mineral associations occupy structures of the „S“ cleavage systems, which were generated during VD1 deformation stage of the hercynian (variscan) orogeny and also during AD1 to AD3 deformation stages of the alpine orogenetical cycle. Analysis of mineralised tectonical structures is based on genetical and successive conditions of the mineralised associations in the relation to the structural-tectonical domains.
