Tectonic framework of the Podrumche-Dazhdovnik basin, Eastern Rhodopes: implications for gold exploration in the region
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Based on recent surface mapping and drill core data, we propose a new outlook on the tectonic framework of the Eocene–Oligocene Podrumche-Dazhdovnik basin in the Bulgarian Eastern Rhodopes. The present-day basin geometry and architecture is suggested being a result of detachment faulting and exhumation of the Kesebir-Kardamos dome, and later overprinting strike-slip faulting and associated drag folding. Discussed are the implications of the proposed tectonic framework for exploration of low-sulphidation epithermal gold in the basin.
