Some Mineralogical Characteristics of the Silver Deposits in the Guanajuato Mining District, Mexico
Economic Geology and the Bulletin of the Society of Economic Geologists (November 1974), 69(7):1078-1085
Abstract:
The silver ores in the Guanajuato mining district in Mexico consist of disseminated silver sulfides, selenides, and electrum in quartz-calcite veins and occur in three different ore types. The mineralogical and chemical characteristics of the ore types were defined and the chemical compositions of some of the minerals were determined. It was found that the different ore types contain approximately the same minerals but in different proportions and specific minerals occurring in different ore types contain the same minor elements but in different quantities.
