Miniera San Carlo, Contrada Montagne, Fiumedinisi, Monti Peloritani, Messina, Sicilia, Italia
Sb-Cu-Ag mineralization; system of unconformable fissure veins, steeply dipping or almost vertical, cutting Palaeozoic phyllites. These vein deposit formed along late-Alpine systems of fractures and faults, after Peloritani nappe emplacement.
The ore mineral assemblage mainly consists of tetrahedrite [tetrahedrite-(Fe)] associated with, in order of decreasing abundance, chalcopyrite, bournonite, pentlandite, stromeyerite, arsenopyrite, scheelite, galena, sphalerite, pyrite, bismuthinite, boulangerite, jamesonite, covellite, bornite, and acanthite. Quartz, siderite and ankerite among non-metalliferous minerals are predominant.
