CONDITION OF FORMATION OF DWARFISH CU-AU-PORPHYRY DEPOSITS
Abstract
Regularities in the distribution and forma tion mechanism of gi ant Cu-Au-porphyry deposits have been discussed by many authors. Most recent works are dedicated to the problem of their formation. The deposits of Macedonia discussed in this communication usually contain up to 150 000 t of copper with the Buchim deposits likely being the smallest in the world am ong similar recently mined deposits. The long- term economically profitable development of the latter refutes the traditional opinion that only Cu-Au-porphyry deposits with reserves at least of 2 500 000 t and Cu content exceeding 0.5% are profitable for exploitati on. Therefore, complex study of dwarfish deposits of Fr. Macedonia is as important as research into giant deposits of the Pacific ore belt for solving the problem of thei r formation mechanism and answering the question of how they differ compared to giant deposits.
