Major Alpine Structures and Cu-porphyry Mineralization in the Serbo-Macedonian massif
Abstract
The geodynamic evolution of the Serbo-Macedonian massif can be reviewed in few geological and geotectonic epochs, but very specific is the Cenozoic evolution from geodynamic, geotectonic, structural, magmatism and metallogenetic point of view. The Cenozoic longitudinal structures are deep in their origin and represent a boundary to the Vardar Zone on the one side and Struma Zone on the other side. Morphostructural forms of different rank and intensity are of high importance for the spatial distribution of the ore mineralization (Kratovo-Zletovo Pb-Zn-Cu ore district, Bucim-Damjan Cu-Au-Fe ore district, Bukovik-Kadiica Cu-Au-Ag-Fe ore system etc.). Predominant structures within the Serbo-Macedonian massif are those with NW-SE direction, which served as orebearing systems too (ore zone Besna Kobila-Osogovo-Tasos and metallogenetic zone Lece-Chalkidiki).Downloads
