Abstract

Macedonia is located in the Serbian–Macedonian
sector of the Eurasian Tethys metallogenic belt (Fig. 1).
Mineralization related to Cenozoic activation in this
area is expressed in the formation of a volcanoplutonic
complex in the dispersed spreading setting [1].
Previous joint works with Macedonian geologists
made it possible to establish that the present-day tectonic
structure of Macedonia reflects dislocations
closely related to Cenozoic magmatism and productive
mineralization [2].
The Kadica–Bukovik ore district is located in the
easternmost Surdulica–Osogovo–Pasos metallogenic
zone characterized by the wide development of lead–
zinc mineralization (Fig. 1). The zone incorporates systems
of sheeted bodies and discordant dikes of quartz
latites with an absolute age within 24–12 Ma. Recent
discovery of the gold-bearing porphyry copper mineralization
in the eastern Kadica ore district is inconsistent
with its metallogenic specialization and previous
metallogenic model of this belt [2]. To study this phenomenon,
we carried out complex studies, which
involved structural–geomorphological analysis of ore
district [4], on the one hand, and thermobarogeochemical
study of ore formation conditions, on the other
hand.
