The Sulitjelma deposits, Nordland, Northern Norway, with more than 20 Zn-Cu ore bodies (total tonnage excesses 35 Mt of ore at 1.84 % Cu, 0.86 % Zn, 10 g/t Ag and 0.25 g/t Au) have been described as a classic example of the Zn-Cu volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) mineralization. The mineralization...
