On the Question of the So-called Secondary Quartzites of Madneuli and Other Gold-base Metal Deposits of the Bolnisi Mining District, Southeastern Georgia
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: At the VMS Madneuli deposit, several types of high-silica rocks are classified as Gold-bearing Secondary Quartzites. It is demonstrated that some of these correspond to advanced argillic alteration, while others to the 'white smokers' and transitional formations. An effort is made to categorize these rocks and explore their relationship with mineralization.
