Abstract

The Sasa Pb-Zn skarn deposit (10 Mt of ore at 7.5% Pb+Zn) is situated in the Serbo-Macedonian massif (SMM), approximately 100 km east from Skopje, Republic of Macedonia.
The SMM is the N-S extending zone, situated
between the Vardar ophiolite zone in the west
and the Rhodope massif in the east. It comprises
an Upper (low-grade) and a Lower (medium to high-grade) unit. The protoliths of both units are reported as volcano-sedimentary series of Precambrian
to Paleozoic age, metamorphosed up to
green schist and amphibolite facies. During the
Cretaceous and Tertiary time, the SMM was
penetrated by andesitic to trachytic volcanic
rocks. Associated ore deposits could be subdivided
into two distinct groups: 1) Porphyry Cu-
Mo-Au and subordinated epithermal gold deposits, and 2) Pb-Zn(-Ag) hydrothermal deposits.
