A review of the stratigraphic characteristics and age data of the main rock units in the Bor Metallogenic Zone (Timok Magmatic Complex)

This study reports on the stratigraphic characteristics of the main units and indicates the link between magmatism and mineralization in the Bor Metallogenetic Zone (BMZ)-the Timok Magmatic Complex (TMC).

description This study reports on the stratigraphic characteristics of the main units and indicates the link between magmatism and mineralization in the Bor Metallogenetic Zone (BMZ)-the Timok Magmatic Complex (TMC). Existing data are supplemented by the latest different systematic long-term geological and stratigraphic surveys and new and contemporary mineral exploration methods. The TMC extends on a continental crust composed of different types of the Proterozoic to the Lower Cretaceous units and consists of the volcanic/magmatic, volcanogenic-sedimentary and sedimentary rock packages. Sedimentary processes and magmatism were almost continuous throughout the Late Cretaceous. The sedimentation lasted from the Albian-Cenomanian to the Maastrichtian. Magmatism occurred in at least two phases from the Upper Turonian to the Upper Campanian: I volcanic phase-V1 (90-82 Ma), II volcanic phase-V2 (83-78 Ma), with a steady decrease in age from East to West. Cu-Au porphyry mineralization occurs between 87-80 Ma. The major epithermal and porphyry mineralization is related to the V1 magmatic phase predominantly developed in the easternmost part of the BMZ.
