Subject category Comment text
Deposit SHAPE OF ORE BODIES IS VARIED. IN THE CARBONATE ROCKS, SULPHIDE ORE BODIES IN THE FORM OF LENSES, PIPES, AND SHOOT-LIKE SEGREGATIONS, COMPLICATED BY APOPHYSES, ARE DISTRIBUTED DIRECTLY IN THE NORTHWESTERLY-STRIKING FAULT ZONES OR AT THE JUNCTION OR INTERSECTION OF THESE ZONES WITH FAULTS OF OTHER DIRECTIONS. IN THE HORNFELSES, HORNFELSED ROCKS, AND GRANITES, THE MINERALIZATION CONSISTS OF QUARTZOSE AND QUARTZ-SULPHIDE VEINS, AND ALSO A DENSE STOCKWORK NETWORK OF VEINLETS. THESE ORE BODIES ARE CONFINED TO BREAKAWAY JOINTS AND TO SECTORS WHERE THEY MERGE WITH NORTHEASTERLY OR NORTHWESTERLY FAULTS. A SEGREGATED MINERALIZATION HAS BEEN OBSERVED IN THE GENTLY-DIPPING MYLONITIZED ZONES IN THE MARGINAL PORTION OF THE INTRUSIVE MASSIF. --FROM SMIRNOV 1977 P. 54 VOL. III.
