Abstract

The paper presents detailed geochemical investigations carried out in part of the Alshar polymetallic
deposit to investigate the presence of individual microlements in the soils and plants such as Viola
alsharica and Thymus alsharensis. The investigated area covers the northern portion of the deposit. Elements analyzed included Sb, Se, W, Zn, Ba, TI, As, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Cd and Be. Investigations demonstrated high geochemical correlation between the distribution of individual elements in the soils and plants. It can be inferred that the plants in the area under investigation contain increased concentrations of thallium, zinc, lead, manganese and copper.
For the results of previous studies of the Alsar deposit, the reader is referred to Ivanov (1965), Percival and Boev (1990), Percival et al. (1992), Boev and Serafimovski (\996), and for investigation of minerals to Caye el al. (1967), Balic-Zullic et al. (1986) El Goresy and Pavicevic (1988), and Frantz (1994).
