The British Geological Survey (BGS) has recently re-evaluated the potential for stratiform
base-metal sulphide mineralisation in Devon and east Cornwall (Rollin et al., 2001) (Figure
1). On the basis of their stratigraphy and tectonic setting the Lower Carboniferous strata
between, and to the north of, Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor are favourable targets for Iberian
Pyrite Belt (IPB)-type deposits (Figure 2). Similarly, the geological setting of the Middle to
Upper Devonian sediments of Exmoor, north Devon, are comparable with those of the Harz
basin in Germany which hosts the major polymetallic Sedex deposits at Rammelsburg and
Meggen
