ORE MINERALIZATIONS OF THE DUMBIERSKE TATRY MTS. (WESTERN CARPATHIANS, SLOVAKIA)

Year, pages: 1996, 371 - 382

The Dumbier part of the Nizke Tatry Mts. is known especially for the exploitation of Sb and Au ores. It belongs to the important ore districts within the Western Carpathians. It is built by a Variscan crystalline complex of the Tatric Unit, cover Mesozoic and Mesozoic nappes. Ore mineralizations were divided into 10 major types: the uranium, molybdenum, tungsten (scheelite), As-Fe-Au (arsenopyrite-pyrite with gold), Au-quartz, antimony with Fe, Cu, Pb, Sb, Bi, Ag sulphides, Pb (galena), — base-metal, siderite with Cu, Sb sulphides, Ba (barite) with Cu sulphides and the hematite one. Most of the known mineralization types can be linked to the evolution of Variscan basement metamorphic and magmatic rocks. Some mineralization types were recrystallized or remobilized from surrounding rocks during the Alpine metallogenetic cycle.
