Present results of geochemical prospecting of the Strieborná vein deposit

Abstract

″Strieborná vein″ is the deposit in the Rožnava ore area.The vein structure is created by older siderite and younger quartz-sulphidic mineral associacion. A prevailing mineral from the group of sulphide ones is tetrahedrite. The chemical composition of tetrahedrit is various. Economically significant elements for mining are silver and copper. The knowing a detailed distribution of Ag and Cu is very important for the further development and geological prospecting in the future. On the enclosed 3D (block) diagrams is show, by means of izolines, the distribution of Ag and Cu and results of geochemical prospecting achieved so far.
