THE MASSIVE SULFIDE OCCURRENCES FOUl' massive sulfide OCCUX'I'ences have been identified in northern Wisconsin (Table 2). Si,nce 1968, wi,th the di,scovery near Ladysmith in Rusk County of a massive sulfi.de ore body, over three dozen mining companies have at one time or another explored for non-ferrous massive sulfide deposits in the Precambrian
The average massive sulphide camp in Canada has about 9 deposits, but ranges from four (Manitowadge) to 21 (Noranda), However, an individual deposit may consist of a number of closely associated, discrete lenses ranging from several thousand to several million tons in size (ea. Millenbach Mine was 16 geologically discrete ore lenses).

Later, large seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) ore bodies were discovered above and beneath the seafloor in the central part of the Izena Caldera (HAKUREI Site). The ore reserve is estimated to be 5million tons based on some 100 short (<20 meters), dense drillings (Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), 2011), and is regarded as ...

massive sulfide mineralization during the Permian. Introduction IN recent years, detailed studies by Barton (1978), Eldridge (1981), and Eldridge et al. (1983) of the mineralogy and textures of ore in the relatively pris- tine Kuroko-type massive sulfide deposits have re- suited in a dramatic revision in the understanding of
Massive Sulfide Ore Deposits. Volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits also known as VMS deposits are among the most highly mined all orders in the world. They are found on all the continents, and are fossilized black smokers found associated with global rift systems or spreading centers.
Massive ore in volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits consists of greater than 40 percent sulfides, usually pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and galena; non-sulfide gangue typically consists of quartz, barite, anhydrite, iron oxides, chlorite, …
Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits are one of the richest sources of metals such as copper, lead, and zinc globally. VMS deposits can also produce economic amounts of gold and silver as ...
Kuroko-type massive sulfide deposits of the Eastern Black Sea province of Turkey are related to the Upper Cretaceous felsic lavas and pyroclastic rocks, and associated with clay and carbonate alteration zones in the footwall and hangingwall lithologies. A complete upward-vertical section of a typical orebody consists of a stringer-disseminated sulfide zone composed mainly of pyrite and ...
Wikipedia. Volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposits, also known as VMS ore deposits, are a type of metal sulfide ore deposit, mainly copper-zinc which are associated with and created by volcanic-associated hydrothermal events in submarine environments. These deposits are also sometimes called volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) deposits.
VMS Deposits • Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS), volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS), volcanic- and sediment-hosted massive sulfide (VSHMS), volcanic-associated massive sulfide (VAMS), etc. • Lenses and sheets of massive sulfide that form from seafloor hydrothermal systems where metal-rich fluids (black smoke) precipitate on (exhalative) or near the seafloor (subseafloor
consists of 55 million metric tons of Zn-Pb-Cu massive sulfide overlying a Cu-rich stockwork. The massive ore is overlain by up to 30 m of feldspar-phyric, rhyolitic volcaniclastic rock and locally by a jasper and/or chert layer up to 15 m thick. The massive sulfide orebody consists dominantly of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite,
The metamorphosed Boliden volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) ore deposit, northern Sweden, is characterized by an abundance of massive arsenopyrite ore and unusually high gold enrichments (up to 300–600 g/t) in crosscutting veins and fracture zones.
ONEIDA COUNTY: A major ore mineral in the massive sulfide copper-zinc ore body on the Pelican River east of Rhinelander in Sect. 29 T.36N. R.9E. The mineral is a major component of the lower part of the ore body where it is intergrown with pyrite. It is also found in the footwall stockwork with pyrite, magnetite and pyrrhotite. (Mudrey, 1979).
Massive sulfide ore deposit. "Massive sulfide ore deposit" means a metal sulfide ore deposit that, as determined by the Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, Division of Geology, Natural Areas and Coastal Resources, Maine Geological Survey, contains in total 1,000,000 tons or more of metallic minerals.
Metallic sulfide mining (aka hard rock mining) is the practice of extracting metals such as nickel, gold and copper from a sulfide-rich ore body. Sulfides are a geologic byproduct of mining in this area, and by exposing sulfides to the air and water in our atmosphere, sulfuric acid can be created — threatening to poison the nearby water ...
Located adjacent to the Banded Gneissic Complex, Rampura–Agucha is the only sulfide ore deposit discovered to date within the Precambrian basement gneisses of Rajasthan. The massive Zn–(Pb) sulfide orebody occurs within graphite–biotite–sillimanite schist along with garnet–biotite–sillimanite gneiss, calc–silicate gneisses, amphibolites, and garnet-bearing …

Massive ore lenses are usually underlain by deformed Cu‐pyrite and quartz‐pyrite stockworks. Most of the sulfide ore bodies have proximal‐type features. Ductile deformation and regional metamorphism have transformed many of the stockwork structures.
Massive sulfide ores were collected from active and inactive vents and smokers and from mounds of the hydrothermal Jade field in the central Okinawa trough (Japan), which is a tectonically active intracontinental back-arc basin located in the northwestern Pacific.
Galena is lead sulfide, PbS, and is the most important ore of lead. (more below) Galena is a soft mineral of Mohs hardness of 2.5, a dark-gray streak and a high density, around 7.5 times that of water. Sometimes galena is bluish gray, but mostly it's straight gray. Galena has a strong cubic cleavage that is apparent even in massive specimens.
A distinction is made between massive ores, in which sulfides are predominant, and disseminated ores, in which nonsulfide minerals are predominant. Sulfide ores may be simple or complex. Complex sulfide ores containing sulfides of copper, zinc, and lead are especially common, as are complex copper, nickel, cobalt, antimony, and mercury ores.
The Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC) is one of the world's oldest base metal mining districts and one of Canada's largest volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. Primary ore commodities include lead, zinc, copper, gold, and silver. Although mining activity in the BMC stopped in the early 2000s, there is potential for subsurface base ...
73 intergrowths in massive ores, semi-massive breccia ores and other variants of sulfide-74 dominated ores will be described in a forthcoming companion paper. 75 Our main purpose in the study of textures is to make deductions about ore-forming processes 76 (using the term "ore" in a loose sense to denote sulfide-bearing rocks, rather than ...
In weakly metamorphosed massive sulfide deposits of the Urals (Dergamysh, Yubileynoe, Yaman-Kasy, Molodezhnoe, Valentorskoe, Aleksandrinskoe, Saf'yanovskoe), banded sulfides (ore diagenites) are recognized as the products of seafloor supergene alteration (halmyrolysis) of fine-clastic sulfide sediments and further diagenesis leading to the formation of authigenic mineralization.
Type 1 deposits are sulfide-rich accumulations of "massive" ore, containing 75- of the sulfides and/or the "matrix" ore, containing 30-70% of olivine crystals with dispersed sulfides. Rich massive ore (fig. 2) is normally overlain with less rich matrix ore, which is itself is overlain with low-grade sulfide …
