Abstract

Metallogeny of the Kozuf ore district have been related to the Alpine Neogene tectonic
structures, recent Kozuf volcanism (1.8-6 Ma), representative morphostructural forms related
to that young volcanism and jasperoids as a setting where have been localized the major gold
mineralizations. The Alshar Au-Sb-As-Tl-Hg and Dudica Cu-Au-Ag-Pb deposits are the most
representative ore-bearing localities within the complex Kozuf ore district. The northern most
part of this district shows higher mineralizing potential than the southern one, adjacent to the
Area region in the Republic of Greece. The Carlin type of Au deposits related to the silicified
tuffs and jasperoids are the major goal of the recent explorations and definition of new types
of mineralization. The gold concentrations in that mineralization are within the range 1-20 g/t
Au or in general are approximately around 3 g/t Au. Copper mineralization at the Dudica is the
most important. Two different types of copper mineralization have been determined within the
Dudica deposit: quartz-pyrite-enargite veins with interesting concentrations of lead and zinc at
the Mircevica Valley where in particular samples were determined concentrations of 0.2 to
5.08% Cu and stockwork-impregnated low grade ore bodies (0.52 % Cu) formed at the contact
between the hydrothermally altered andesite and Paleozoic schist.
