The most famous of these are the base-metal sulphides of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (Rio Tinto and other deposits), tin and tungsten (Panasqueira), and mercury (Almadén). The depositional stage of the Hercynian cycle saw the accumulation of syngenetic mineral deposits, resulting from the interplay of palaeogeographical, sedimentary and volcanic controls. During and after the following orogenic stage, epigenetic minerals originated through magmatic activity, mostly as direct deposits from magmatic-derived fluids and also indirectly through... |
