SREBRENICA OREFIELD, PODRINJE METALLOGENIC DISTRICT, REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA, B&H: HYDRATED Fe(Al)-PHOSPHATES AND THEIR PARAGENESES WITHIN THE Pb-Zn MINERALIZATION
The Srebrenica orefield is mostly composed of Tertiary dacite-andesites, and quartz latites, pyroclastites, Paleozoic schists, and Quaternary sediments, but in a in a lesser extent. The latest research showed that in the Srebrenica orefield occur complex mineral parageneses and associations deposited in pneumatolytic-hydrothermal and hydrothermal (from high- to low-temperature) stage, accompanied with very rare minerals. Beside ore mineral parageneses and associations, specials emphasis was on rare hydrated phosphates: vivianite, ludlamite, and vauxite. It is important to say that vauxite from the Srebrenica orefield is fourth discovery in the world. The minerals above were studied using DTA-TGA, IR-spectroscopy, and XRPD.
