Elacite Mine


A porphyry copper deposit.

The open pit extends into the northern portion of Chelopech Municipality.

Mineral assemblages have homogenization temperatures between 576-​330Β° and 250-​140Β° based on fluid inclusions in quartz. At Elatsite, the porphyry hydrothermal paragenesis consists of: early magnetite–quartz; magnetite–bornite–chalcopyrite; pyrite–chalcopyrite; quartz–molybdenite; and late quartz–pyrite, quartz–galena–sphalerite, and quartz–carbonate–zeolite veins.

Potassic alteration is spatially associated with the mineralization of the quartz–magnetite and magnetite–bornite–chalcopyrite stages, which host the majority of the Pd and Pt in the deposit.

Located about 8 km NW of the Chelopech Mine.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Late/Upper Cretaceous : 92.73 Ma to 90.86 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
