Abstract: | Besshi-type volcanic-associated massive sulfide deposits (VMSD) are associated with undifferentiated basaltic formations.
They form within the mid-ocean ridges near the continental margins, in back-arc spreading zones, and rarely in intracontinental
rift basins. They are characterized by a wide spread of turbidites in ore-bearing strata, Co-rich copper-zinc ores, the predominance
of subvolcanic sills, sheet-like ore bodies, an absence of clear structural control, relatively low Cu, Zn, Ag, and Au grades,
enrichment in Pb, and relatively large ore and metal reserves. |
