MERDARE FAULT, MINERAL POLIMETALIC DEPOSITES AND ACURRANCES
Abstract
Significant economic mineralizations of Kosova territory are hydrothermal deposits of Pb-Zn. These deposits are located mainly in northern and eastern part of Kosovo, the so- called Trepca ore belt, which has a longitudinal stretch about 80 km and consists of a number of mineralized deposits and occurrences. In the geological context, this ore belt is part of the Vardar zone and associated with volcanic and sub volcanic rocks. Most of these deposits are located in the sequences carbonate and other rocks of different compositions, which are characte rized by specific physical - chemical anisotropic features. Based on geological data there are several mechanisms leading to the formation of mineralization in host rocks: by filling or replacement, mass transfer (transportation of mineral mass through hy drothermal solutions), convective or diffusion infiltration. Experime nts performed in different conditions have led to the conclusion that, the hydrothermal deposit formations are significantly affected by the metasomatic zoning structure, composition and fluid hydrothermal acidity, temperature and other factors. The change of mineral composition is characterized by the presen ce or absence of certain minerals and the formation of different mineral zonings. In such a zoning mainly dominate are one or two minerals, while the presence of three or more minerals is rare. With the Merdare fault are associated some mineral deposits and occurrences. So far research and data obtained from mining activities of some deposits have provided satisfactory information on the geology, qua lity, reserves and their economic value. Increasing the level of knowledge and the possibility of expanding the promising sectors for this mineralization requires clarificati on of structural, formational and controller criteria of forming known to date deposits an d use them in terms of finding industrial mineral concentrations, especially in sector s along the deep faults, considered as the most suitable environments for the currently known deposits. Therefore special subject of this paper will be the possibility of finding of other hydrothermal mineralization south and north of the Artana deposit, within the scope of Merdare fault by using different data including and airborne geophysical survey.
