Geochemistry and textural evolution of As-Tl-Sb-Hg-rich pyrite from a sediment-hosted As-Sb-Tl-Pb ± Hg ± Au mineralization in Janjevo, Kosovo
Pyrite is the most common sulfide mineral in the crustal rocks and contains often trace to minor amount of elements other than Fe or S. These elements were incorporated into the structure of pyrite during its formation and can be further remobilized to form ore deposits, to enter the environment, or to be extracted and used. In this work, we have investigated a specific case of thallium-enriched pyrite from a hydrothermal mineralization in Kosovo. We determined how these ores were formed and how was thallium taken up in the pyrite in them. More information can be found at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oregeorev.2022.105221Externer Link
