Sulphide mylonites from the RenstrOm VMS deposit, Northern Sweden
Sulphide mylonites are fine-grained massive sulphides which have deformed in a plastic manner. In the Renstr6m Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au VMS deposit, one of several operating mines in the Early Proterozoic Skellefte District in Northern Sweden, shear-zone metamorphism has resulted in the development of mylonit...
