摘要
Precious-metal mineralization in the southern Apuseni Mountains of western Romania is hosted by mid-Miocene (similar to 14 Ma) andesitic stocks and lava flows. The mineralized veins are surrounded by aureoles of hydrothermal alteration, consisting of quartz, sericite, K-feldspar, pyrite and calcite. The alteration process caused a total homogenization of initial Sr-87/Sr-86 in the rocks. Ages determined for the hydrothermal alteration are 13.7-15.7 Ma, indicating that hydrothermal alteration immediately followed igneous activity. Furthermore, a large influx of radiogenic Sr took place during alteration, this Sr probably being derived from the hydrothermal leaching of continental meta-sedimentary rocks in the basement.
