Epithermal quartz vein-type gold deposit.
The Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Au mineralization at Profitis Ilias has been estimated to contain five million tons of ore with 4.4 g/t Au and 43 g/t Ag and has been the subject of several studies. Drill cores crosscut the dacitic-rhyolitic cryptodome that forms the core of the volcanic center and is surrounded by the voluminous Profitis Ilias ignimbrite, which is a submarine pumice breccia. A recent study dated the Profitis Ilias cryptodome and the pumice breccia to 2.75 and 2.62 Ma, respectively.
