Abstract
Within this paper we are going to present results of our study of the Plavica deposit, Eastern
Macedonia, epithermal gold and associated mineral phases that have been identified in
silicified tuff, secondary quartzite, quartz-pyrite-enargite veins and mainly disseminated
within an altered, but mostly silicified volcanic setting. Also, there we have determined
the presence of contaminated pyrite, zinc-tetrahedrite, enargite, and certainly seligmanite
regularly and commonly present copper association led by chalcopyrite, followed
by bornite, chalcocite, covellite, as well as as slightly higher temperature associations of
arsenopyrite and molybdenite. For illustration we want to emphasize that in pyrite we
found increased concentrations of copper and zinc and less silver, then enargite with
increased zinc concentrations (0.24-7.56 Zn), antimony (0.46-1.33% Sb) and silver
(0.09-0.54% Ag), as well as tennantite with increased iron (0.21-1.55% Fe), zinc (6.24-
9.06% Zn) and silver (0.08-0.87% Ag), while within the molybdenite elevated
concentrations were detected for sulfur and iron.
