Description
Summary:In the area of the Lece base-metal ore field in the SE part of the Radana Tertiary volcanic complex, prospecting researches, lasting several years was done during the last decade of the last century. In the paper some results are presented and analyzed, especially those concerning the distribution of gold relative to trace elements in the secondary lithogeochemical dispersion haloes. In the assemblage of 8 analyzed trace elements of the Lece lithogeochemical field, Au, Pb, Zn, Ag and Sb show expressive, contrasting and mutually well correlated secondary dispersion haloes. The presented results of geochemical prospecting are considered not to be clearly indicative for epithermal gold mineralization in the polymetallic ore field Lece.
