MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TYPE

(MVT) DEPOSIT



Sejarah MVT
Amerika Utara
(Galena ,Sphalerite,
sedikit Kalkopirit )
Banyak ditemukan terbentuk di waktu
PROTEROZOIKUM - CRETACEOUS
Pertama kali ditemukan 70
tahun yang lalu (Bastian 1939)
Apa sih MVT (Mississippi Valley
Type) itu ?
Endapan MVT terdiri dari kumpulan tubuh bijih dimana silfida Fe, Pb, dan Zn mengisi
rongga pada termokarst atau larutan breksia pada platform karbonat kebagian
cekungan sedimen
Ukuran rata rata Deposit 7.0 Mt
32,5 g/t
Ag
0.23 %
Cu
6,0 %
Zn
1.9 %
Pb
Berikut kareteristik mvt :

1) kebanyakan deposito terjadi di batuan karbonat, dengan biasa kuat
pada dolomites dan batugamping
2) deposito terjadi di kebanyakan cekungan sedimen di seluruh belahan
dunia. Hors rock kisaran usia dari Proterozoikum-kapur (createceous)
3) Kebanyakan horst rock yang di temukan berada pada zaman protezoic
sedangkan sedikit ditemukan pada zaman proterozoikum
4) deposit cenderung ditemukan di dekat tepi cekungan, atau pada
lengkungan antara cekungan
5) tiap deposit itu sendiri , kejadiannya mirip dengan satu sama lain,
cenderung terjadi di daerah-daerah yang dapat didistribusikan seratus
sampai seribu meters.
6) Jenis intrusinya konkordan
7) batu-batuan karbonat host tidak berubah bentuk.

Mineralisasi
Types of Sulfide Mineralization
There are at least five types of sulfide mineralization present in the
Lavrion district.

1. Porphyry-style mineralization
2. Skarn-style mineralization are spatially associated with the Plaka
granodiorite
3. Breccia-style mineralization
4. Carbonate-replacement Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization
5. Vein-style Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization is present at Adami

Photos of various types of mineralization and rock types in the Lavrion district. a. Multiple crosscutting quartzmolybdenite-
pyrite (Qtz-Mlb-Py) veins in the Plaka granodiorite (PG). b. Hornfels on the margin of the Plaka granodiorite porphyry. c.
Upper Marble (UM) and interbedded schists (S) near the southern margin of the Plaka granodiorite. Massive epidote (E)-
bearing skarn is outlined. d. Massive carbonate-replacement ore along the contact of the Kaesariani schists and the Lower
Marble (LM), Jean Baptiste mine (Kamariza area). e. Massive sphalerite (Sph) and calcite (Cal) in carbonate-replacement
ore from Kamariza. f. Intergrown massive pyrite (Py) and sphalerite (Sph) with crosscutting calcite (Cal) veins in massive
ore from Plaka (Villia). g. Brecciated sphalerite-galena ore with clasts of Upper Marble in Vein 80 at the Adami mine. Note
the hornfels on the upper portion of the vein. h. Vein 80 from Adami mine showing bands of galena (Gn), siderite (Sd), and
calcite (Cal).

sphalerite crystals in white dolomite
cement, Robb Lake, BC.
B. Mosaic breccia with sphalerite crystals
in white dolomite cement, Robb Lake,
BC.
C. Rubble breccia consisting of variably
altered dolostone fragments and shale
fragments in white dolomite cement.
Note the dolostone fragments with
zebra texture, Robb Lake, BC.

shale, and white sparry dolomite
fragments in dark grey fragmental
matrix, Robb Lake, BC.
E. Aggregates of massive sphalerite
crystals and white sparry dolomite
along small fractures, Pine Point, NWT.
F. Aggregates of colloform sphalerite and
skeletal galena completely replacing
the carbonate, Polaris, Nunavut; scale
bar is 1 cm.
Various ore textures from
Polaris, Nunavut, NWT; scale
bar is 1 cm.
A. Keel ore: sphalerite and
skeletal galena are
replacing the carbonate
clasts.

sphalerite in solution
collapse breccia.
C. Ocean zone: Massive
galena and sparry
dolomite in
pseudobrecciated
carbonate host rock.
