Abstract

Tectonic setting, paragenesis, structure and texture of ores, sulphide sulphur isotopic composition allign the Bakovici veiny deposit in the group of polymelallic, postmagmatic hydrothermal deposits in the Mid-Bosnian Schist Mountains area. Crude ore is rich in gold (15 g/t). Main ore mineral is gold-bearing pyrite; quartz and siderite are the main gangue minerals. Accessories are: tetrahedrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, stibnite, galena, barite, gypsum. Production between 1895-1938 gave 2.24 t of gold and 7.47 t of silver. The Bakovici deposit was the biggest producer of gold in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The deposit is related to the Late Variscan rhyolite magmatism. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
