Abstract

The Trepça Belt of Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization is located within the NNW-SSE trending Vardar zone. The Belt extends for over 80 km, and supported five mines during the period 1930-2008. It contains a number of the other Pb-Zn occurrences too. The replacement and vein type mineralization is hosted primarily by Mesozoic carbonates, but also occasionally by amphibolites, and displays a clear structural control. Mineralization is spatially and genetically related to Neogene andesite-dacite extrusives and sub-volcanic intrusives. Only Stan Terg mine is presented in this paper.
