TREPÇA ORE BELT AND LEAD AND ZINC DISTRIBUTION IN BADOVC MINERAL DEPOSIT, KOSOVO (SE EUROPE)

ABSTRACT The Trepça Belt of Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization is located in the NNW-SSE trending Vardar zone. The Belt extends for ever 80 km, and supported five mines during period 1930-2010, and contains a number of the other Pb-Zn occurrences. The replacement and vein type mineralization is hosted primarily by Mesozoic carbonates, but also occasionally by amphibolites, and it display a clear structural control. Mineralization is spatially and genetically related to Neogene andesite-dacite extrusive and sub volcanic intrusive. We use for this paper only Badovc mine. In this paper we featured lateral distribution and inside ore bodies of Pb and Zn how two main components and Ag association with economic importance in the mineral deposit Badovc. Pb and Zn distribution within the contoured ore body in Badovc is heterogeneous. Lateral Pb, Zn and Zn/Pb ratio distributions are studied for the ore bodies 6, 7 etc. of Badovc ore deposit. Mineral deposit of Badovc, consisting of Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization, does not close genetically towards its deepest exploitation level
