Sažetak
The Pb-Zn-Ag Trepca mineral deposit (42.9°N, 20.9°E) is situated near the town of Kosovska Mitrovica, 40 km NW from Pristina, Kosovo (Fig. 1). The deposit is related to Tertiary postcollisional magmatism (Cvetkovic et al., 2004) within the Kopaonik block of the Western Vardar zone in the easternmost part of Dinarides (Dimitrijevic, 1997). Numerous lead-zinc-silver, antimony, bismuth and molybdenum, copper, iron, tin, tungsten and gold deposits are present within the Vardar zone. The Pb-Zn-Ag mineral deposits extend northward from Kosovo and southern Serbia (Trepca mineral belt) through western Serbia to easternmost Bosnia. The Trepca mineral belt hosts several skarn, hydrothermal replacement and vein type Pb-Zn-Ag deposits (Fig. 1). The most important are Trepca, Crnac, Belo Brdo, Kisnica, Avajlija and Novo Brdo. Mining works in this area have begun during the Illyrian time and industrial production started in 1927. In the past 70 years the total ore production reached 32 million tones with average annual production of 580, 000 t. According to ITT/UNMIK, 2001 report, the potential ore reserves were estimated as 29 million tones with grades varying from 3.40 to 3.45 % Pb, 2.23 to 2.36% Zn and 74 to 81 g/t Ag. Trepca has been classified as Pb-Zn-Ag high-temperature hydrothermal-replacement and skarn deposit with strict structural control (e.g. Forgan, 1948 ; Schumacher, 1950, 1954). A geochemical study of the Trepca deposit, as a part of the ongoing doctoral thesis, comprises host rocks, ore and gangue minerals and associated igneous rocks. Besides, fluid inclusion study on ore and gangue minerals from different stages of mineralization, together with stable isotope data provides P-T-X conditions of the mineralizing processes.
