Abstract
Semi-massive and vein CuPbZn mineralization occurs at the CSA mine in the Cobar mineral province in western New South Wales, Australia. In these ore bodies the sulphides show textures which are characteristic for deformation by brittle failure, dislocation glide, dislocation creep and precipitation creep. The textures are similar to those that have been produced in experimental studies and those observed in many naturally deformed ores. Several textures indicate that recrystallization and deformation of the ore minerals occurred simultaneously. Together with the mesoscale vein structures they support a syn-tectonic origin for the mineralization.
