Spurenelement-Paragenese in Zinkblenden verschiedener Pb-Zn-Vorkommen in Korea

Abstract

Thirty samples of the sphalerite from sixteen Korean Pb-Zn deposits of various geologic settings were studied spectroanalytically. Variations in the trace-element contents of the sphalerite are considered in relation to geologic settings and mineralogic properties. Sphalerites from ore deposits developed in similar geologic settings and under similar physicochemical conditions are characterized by specific combinations of trace elements.
