San Giovanni Mine, Punta della Torre, Iglesias, Carbonia-Iglesias Province, Sardinia, Italy

(Miniera di San Giovanni, Punta della Torre, Iglesias, Carbonia-Iglesias, Sardegna, Italia)

Another important Pb-Zn-Ba mine of Iglesiente, interesting the "Iglesiente metalliferous ring". In this area most of mineralizations are probably accomunated under a primary origin connected to sedimentary cambrian carbonatic limestones. These primary sedimentary mineralizations were remobilized and re-arranged because of later tectonic phenomena.
