Abstract

Regularities in the distribution and formation
mechanism of giant Cu porphyry deposits have been
discussed by many authors. Most recent works are
dedicated to the problem of their formation [1]. The
deposits of Macedonia discussed in this communica�
tion usually contain up to 150 000 t of copper with the
Buchim deposits likely being the smallest in the world
among similar recently mined deposits. The long�term
economically profitable development of the latter
refutes the traditional opinion that only Cu porphyry
deposits with reserves at least of 2 500 000 t and Cu
content exceeding 0.5% are profitable for exploitation.
Therefore, complex study of dwarfish deposits of
Macedonia is as important as research into giant depos�
its of the Pacific ore belt for solving the problem of their
formation mechanism and answering the question of
how they differ compared to giant deposits.
