Scheelite-Bearing Metalliferous Sequences of the Peloritani Mountains, Northeastern Sicily (with some Remarks on Tungsten Metallogenesis in the Calabrian-Peloritan Arc)

Application of Geostatistical Tools to the Geochemical Characterization of the Peloritani Mts (Sicily, Italy) Aquifers

“…These are located within the Mandanici Unit, consisting of marble layers and graphitic schists with intercalation of ankerite, associated with fluorite, barite, galena and pyrite. Above and laterally to marbles, Cu-Sb-Ag-As, Ni and Bi, with traces of Pb, Zn, W and Au sulphasalt-sulphide mineralizations are present [28], in mineral phases, such as galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, the tetrahedrite group of minerals [(Cu,Fe,Ag,Zn) 12 Sb 4 S 13 ] stibnite [29], and scheelite associated with tourmaline [30,31]. Here, a hydrothermal system is recognised along the Tyrrhenian (Terme Vigliatore area) and the Ionian (Ali Terme area) coasts.…”

Hydrogeochemical analysis on Italian bottled mineral waters: Effects of geology

“…8). Geochemical data available from the FOREGS database indicate, anomalous distribution in soils from volcanic areas in central Italy and in the Central-Western Alps (De Vivo et al, 2009) although possible relationships with mineralization cannot be excluded in Sicily (Omenetto et al, 1988) or in the Alps (Brigo and Omenetto, 1983).…”

An Itinerary through Proterozoic to Holocene rocks in the North-Eastern Peloritani Mts. (Southern Italy)

“…They are ascribable to Proterozoic syn-plutonic (Aspromonte Unit) or to Palaeozoic syn-sedimentary and synvolcanic (remaining units) deposits, followed by Variscan and Alpine metamorphic remobilizations. Miocene to Actual hydrothermal processes are also largely widespread (Ferla, 1982;Censi & Ferla, 1983;Omenetto et al 1986Omenetto et al , 1988Saccà & Triscari, 1985;Saccà & Cimino, 1988;Saccà et al, 1992Saccà et al, , 1996De Vivo et al, 1998, 1999Messina et al, 2004a, b;Messina & Macaione, 2010).
