FAHL ORES FROM SILVER AND SILVER CONTAINERS OF DEPOSITS OF TAJIKISTAN

Abstract

The article contains information on faded ores in silver and silver-bearing deposits in Tajikistan. They are very unevenly distributed in them. If in some deposits faded ores occur in insignificant quantities (Mushiston), while in others they form significant clusters (Mirkhant, Kanjol, BolshoyKanimansur). Faded ores are represented by a series of tennantite - tetrahedrite - frejbergite, among which tetrahedrites predominate. Of the 191 chemical analyzes of faded ores from the deposits of Northern and Central Tajikistan, as well as the Pamirs, only 23 belong to freibergit, and 2 to tennantite. The silver content in faded ores of the whole region as a whole varies from 0,13 (Kansai) to 33,91 mass. % (Shkolnoe).
