Abstract
Paragenetic associations of tetrahedrite-(Zn) and sphalerite are distinguished in the Teremki gold-ore deposit. The chemical composition of coexisting minerals of this association is determined. The Sb/(Sb + As) and Fe/(Fe + Zn) ratios in tetrahedrite-(Zn) vary from 0.66 to 0.97 and from 0.28 to 0.40, respectively. A negative correlation was established between Sb/(Sb + As) and Fe/(Fe + Zn) ratios. Contents of Fe in sphalerite change from 0.88 to 1.43 wt % (1.5–2.5 mol % FeS). Temperature and sulfur fugacity when precipitation of tetrahedrite-(Zn)–paragenesis were estimated: they range from 130 to 280°C and from 10–13.2 to 10–8.1 bars, respectively.
