quartz-sulphidic mineralization, Cu-Pb-Sb-As sulphosalts, seligmannite, tetrahedrite, tennantite, sulphoarsenides, Veporic Unit, Western Carpathians

Ľubietová-Peklo Cu-(±Ag) ore occurrence is located about 20 km to the E from Banská Bystrica (district city) and about 3.7 km to the ENE from Ľubietová village (Central Slovakia). In the past (16^th - 19^th century), mining works of a lesser extent were made on this site. Subvertical quartz-carbonate veins (NE-SW to E-W direction) with ore minerals intersect both, migmatitised orthogneisses (Lower Paleozoic) and Permian greywackes of the Veporic Unit. Ore veins are intersected and displaced by NW-SE directed younger tectonic structures (often with development of quartz veins without ore mineralization). Ore mineralization originated in the following stages: I.) pyrite-arsenopyrite stage (quartz I, pyrite, arsenopyrite, cobaltite I); II.) bournonite stage (bournonite-seligmannite, galena); III) carbonate stage (dolomite-Fe dolomite, barite) and quartz-sulphidic stage (quartz II, cobaltite II, sphalerite, chalcopyrite I and II, tetrahedrite, tennantite). Supergene zone is represented by small amounts of cerussite, malachite and goethite. Mineralogically remarkable are zonal crystals of bournonite-seligmannite (almost complete solid solution). The most extreme difference between As and Sb content in a single crystal can be expressed as Bnn₉₉Slg₁ to Slg₈₄Bnn₁₆. The Sb content generally increases from the centre of the crystals toward their rims. On the most deposits, mineral phases of the bournonite-seligmannite series occur as a younger minerals (in association with jordanite, geocronite and galena) and crystallize usually after precipitation of tetrahedrite, tennantite, or chalcopyrite. As for the Ľubietová-Peklo occurrence, mineral phases of bournonite-seligmannite series crystallize directly from As- and Sb-bearing hydrothermal fluids, unusually before crystallization of tetrahedrite, tennantite and chalcopyrite. Hydrothermal vein mineralization has an Alpinian age and originated most probably during Upper Cretaceous.
