Abstract
The stratiform and vein base metal sulfide mineralization of the Evros region has been emplaced during three major metallogenetic periods: the Pre-, Early- and Mid-Alpidic orogenic era. The Pre-Alpidic mineralization is associated with a metamorphosed ophiolitic mafic-ultramafic sequence (Rhodope Massif), the EarlyAlpidic with tholeiitic metabasalt (Circum Rhodope Belt) and the Mid-Alpidic mineralization has its major development in Tertiary sedimentary and calc-alkaline igneous rocks. These types of mineralization, depending on their geotectonic setting, are considered to be similar to that of the Limassol Forest Plutonic Complex (Rhodope Massif), to volcanic-exhalative and analogous to Cyprus volcanogenic massive sulfides (Circum Rhodope Belt), and to stratiform sediment hosted and veins of volcanic affiliation (Tertiary volcano-sedimentary basins).
