Geohemijsko polje Kaludre (JZ Srbija)

Geohemical field of Kaludra (SW Serbia)

Abstract

The geoehemical field of Kaludra is located in the orefield of the same name, in the westem part of Kopaonik ore province. It belongs to local geologic-metallogenic units in the border belt betvveen the Dinarides and the Vardar zone, formed by Tertiary magmatic and tectonic events. Hydrothermal and magmatic products vvithin a complex of Senonian flysch and Jurassic-Senonian melange express a geochemical-metallogenic specialization to a polymetallic series of chemical elements and their mineral emplacements. Using the traditional algorithm for lithogeochemical prospecting of potential ore-bearing media, this work presents a synthetized description and analysis of the typical spatial distribution of index microelements (Pb, Zn, Ag, Sb) and their relations to the local geological environment.
