Geostatički model površinskog raspadanja galenita, sfalerita i halkopirita u ležištu Babe (Kosmaj, Šumadija)

The geostatistical model og galena, sphalerite and chalcpoytite weathering in the polymetalic deposit Babe, Kosmaj Mountain (Serbia, Yugoslavia)

Abstract

The origin of the Pb, Zn and Cu distribution in the weathering zone of the polymetalic deposit Babe is from two population of minerals:

a) secondary minerals, formed by the transformation of primary minerals during the weathering process,

b) relics of primary minerals: galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite.

The relationship between the distributions of these population suggest a model for galena sphalerite and dial copy rite behavior in the weathering process.
