TUNGSTEN IN METABASIC ROCKS OF EDOUGH MTS. CRYSTALLINE COMPLEX (NE ALGERIA)
Abstract
Mineralogical-paragenetical, geochemical as well as previous petrogenetic studies (Hovorka & Ilavsky 1991) carried out in the Edough Mts. indicated the presence of tungsten mineralization of intramagmatic ores in pyroxenites, plagiodasites and pegmatites. Subsequent metamorphism caused the alteration of primary disseminated mineralization into impregnation to stockwerk type. At the same time it has been confirmed that all analogous effusive rocks from the Edough Mts. are according to their WO3 contents perspective as far as tungsten and other metals are concerned.
