ABSTRACT

Gadir deposit is located in the East of Yogundag, near Gedabek deposit, also, Shamkir uplift of the Lok-Karabakh structural-formation zone in the Lesser Caucasus Mega-anticlinorium of Azerbaijan. The deposit has complicated geological structure, and consists of different age and different composite intrusive bulks and fracture structure consisted of complicated with Middle and Upper Jurassic sediments. A structural position of Yogundag area (also, Gadir) predetermined a set of magmatic complexes and a character of magmatism occurrence for Gedabek-Bittibulag deeper fault direction as a whole including the investigated area where are widely developed a set of volcano-pluton formations and volcanism of central character. Gadir was first suggested as a low sulfidation epithermal deposit type by Gedabek Exploration Geologists (2014) following field work and geological interpretation. The Gadir deposit is belong to Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Au vein deposit which is characteristic to Low Sulfidation epithermal deposit. The main ore minerals are sulfides. Sulfides consist of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and trace amounts of chalcopyrite.
