Geochemical Study of the Mineralized System Bukovik–Kadiica, Eastern Macedonia
Abstract
In accordance with the performed regional and detailed geochemical studies of the stream sediments, soils and rock chips, at the wider area of the Bukovik–Kadiica locality near Pehčevo town, Eastern Macedonia, regional and local polymetallic geochemical anomalies of elements such are Cu, Fe, S, Mo, Au, Pb, Zn, Sn, As, Sb, Ti, V, Co etc were detected. However, copper, molybdenum, silver, lead and zinc, appeared to have most standard values which coincides with the former geochemical studies. This data directly point to an existence of the copper mineralization in a wider area that coincides with the structural-metallogenic features of the Bukovik–Kadiica area, also. Detailed studies allowed calculation of the correlation factors of the most frequent elements in the area of interest. Especially significant correlation factors were detected for the elemental pairs such as Cu-Ag, Fe-Cu, Zn-Au, Pb-Ag and Pb-As.Downloads
