- Abstract:
- The central and eastern Europe, which is located in the eastern part of the continental Europe, experiences a long geological evolution along with the continental Europe. From north to south, the central and eastern Europe traverses the southwestern part of the eastern European Platform, and the Caledonian, the eastern Hercynian and Alpine fold belts, respectively; this region generally shows that the geological evolution history gradually becomes young from north to south. The metallic mineral resources in this region are relatively abundant, but are not homogeneously distributed. The major metallic minerals are Cu, Pb, Zn, Au, Ag, etc., and are enriched in Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. The porphyry, epithermal, MVT and Kupferschiefer deposits are the main types in this region. Four metallogenic belts have been identified in this region, including porphyry and epithermal Cu-Pb-Zn-Au-Ag metallogenic belt in Inner Carpathian-Alpine, porphyry Cu-Au and hydrothermal vein-type Pb-Zn metallogenic belt in Serbia-Macedonia-Greece Rhodope, porphyry and epithermal Cu-Au metallogenic belt in ABTS (Apuseni-Banat-Timok-Srednogorie), and MVT and Kupferschiefer Pb-Zn-Cu metallogenic belt in the southern Poland. The former three metallogenic belts related to subduction and collisional orogen are located within Alpine-Balkan-Carpathian-Dinaride area, and belong to Mediterranean metallogenic province, which is part of Tethys metallogenic domain; and the last one related to the extension of basin is located in European metallogenic province, which is part of Laurasia metallogenic domain. The above metallogenic belts can be further divided into several ore-concentrated areas. The metallic deposits in the central and eastern Europe predominantly occur in Alpine orogeny, in which there are great potentials to find large-size new porphyry Cu and associated epithermal, skarn and vein-type deposits.
