Trep a Ore Belt and Stan Terg mine – Geological overview and interpretation, Kosovo (SE Europe)

The Trep a Belt of Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization is located within the NNW-SSE trending Vardar zone. The Beltextends for over 80 km, and supported five mines during the period 1930-2008. It contains a number of the otherPb-Zn occurrences too. The replacement and vein type mineralization is hosted primarily by Mesozoic carbonates,but also occasionally by amphibolites, and displays a clear structural control. Mineralization is spatially and geneticallyrelated to Neogene andesite-dacite extrusives and sub-volcanic intrusives. Only Stan Terg mine is presentedin this paper.
