Abstract

Hydrothermal alterations of host rocks (granites and metasediments) connected with origin Sn-W and U deposits are often accompanied by origin of chlorite, clay minerals and white mica (muscovite, hydromuscovite, phengite) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Clay minerals originated usually in last stages of these alterations, when temperature of hydrothermal fluids is in range of 50–200 oC. In area of Central European Variscan belt (Bohemian Massif) occur a few Sn-Wand U-ore deposits in which are evolved altered rocks with highly interested chlorite, clay minerals and white mica assemblages (Fig. 1). This paper is concentrated on description and discussion of chloritization and argillization, originated during alteration of host rocks series at selected Sn-W and U ore deposits in the area of the Bohemian Massif (Czech Republic).
