Abstract

Strizhkovskoe barite-polymetallic deposit is a typical medium-low-temperature hydrothermal-metasomatic deposit.It’s located within north-west part of Zmeinogorsk-Bystrushinskiy downfold; host rocks are volcano-terrigenous Devonian rocks. Ore bodies are related to sublatitudinal and submeridional faults intercrossing.Wallrock quartz-chlorite-sericite metasomatites formed prior to ores formation. Ore mineralization process began in Middle Devonian. Main ore minerals are sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite. Also there are gold and silver occurring as electrum, acanthite; silver is present in fahlores as an isomorphous admixture. Formation of the deposit subdivides into two main stages and five phases; according to obtained results of isotope study of the sulfides, it’s possible to conclude that there was a mixed source of ore matter (mantle source replacing with crust source). The temperature of main ore formation stage varied form 230 to 180 degrees. Solutions salinity varied from 9 to 15 % wt of NaCl equiv. According to fluid inclusions study results, the solutions consisted of water and following compounds CO2, NH3, SO2, HCO3.
