  2. Volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanogenic_massive...

    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 produced by volcanic-associated hydrothermal events in submarine environments. [2] [3] [4] These deposits are also sometimes called volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) deposits

  3. Massive sulfide deposits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_sulfide_deposits

    Massive sulfide deposits are ore deposits that have significant stratiform ore bodies consisting mainly of sulfide minerals.Most massive sulfide ore deposits have other portions that are not massive, including stringer or feeder zones beneath the massive parts that mostly consist of crosscutting veins and veinlets of sulfides in a matrix of pervasively altered host rock and gangue.

  4. Arsenopyrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenopyrite

    Arsenopyrite (IMA symbol: Apy [4]) is an iron arsenic sulfide (FeAsS). It is a hard (Mohs 5.5–6) [5] metallic, opaque, steel grey to silver white mineral with a relatively high specific gravity of 6.1. [1] When dissolved in nitric acid, it releases elemental sulfur. When arsenopyrite is heated, it produces sulfur and arsenic vapor.

  5. Alunite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alunite

    Alunite occurs as a secondary mineral on iron sulfate ores. Alunite occurs as veins and replacement masses in trachyte, rhyolite, and similar potassium rich volcanic rocks. It is formed by the action of sulfuric acid bearing solutions on these rocks during the oxidation and leaching of metal sulfide deposits.

  6. Supergene (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supergene_(geology)

    The reaction produces secondary sulfides with metal contents higher than those of the primary ore. This is particularly noted in copper ore deposits where the copper sulfide minerals chalcocite (Cu 2 S), covellite (CuS), digenite (Cu 18 S 10), and djurleite (Cu 31 S 16) are deposited by the descending surface waters.

  7. Stannite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stannite

    It is found in tin-bearing, hydrothermal vein deposits occurring with chalcopyrite, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, arsenopyrite, pyrite, cassiterite, and wolframite. [2] It is also known as bell metal ore as tin is an important constituent of bell-metal. It is thought the exploitation of tin deposits in Cornwall led to an expansion in bell founding.

  8. Sedimentary exhalative deposits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Sedimentary_exhalative_deposits

    Sedimentary exhalative deposits (SEDEX or SedEx deposits) are zinc-lead deposits originally interpreted to have been formed by discharge of metal-bearing basinal fluids onto the seafloor resulting in the precipitation of mainly stratiform ore, often with thin laminations of sulfide minerals.

  9. Cubanite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubanite

    Cubanite is a copper iron sulfide mineral that commonly occurs as a minor alteration mineral in magmatic sulfide deposits. It has the chemical formula CuFe 2 S 3 and when found, it has a bronze to brass-yellow appearance. On the Mohs hardness scale, cubanite falls between 3.5 and 4 and has a orthorhombic crystal system.
