ABSTRACT
Complex Geo-tectonic and metallogenic developments in the Kosovo territory have influenced the formation of polymetallic deposits located in various metallogenic provinces. The most important polymetallic mineral deposits, particularly lead and zinc mineralizations are found in the northern and eastern part of Kosovo. They belong to the so-called Serbia-Kosova-Macedonia (SKM) metallogenic province. These lead-zinc mineralizations extend, for over 80km from north to northeast part of Kosovo including numerous mines and mineral occurrences. To reach clear understandings on metallogenic areas, for this work except historical studies, we have used: Airborne geophysical survey (2006–2007 and 1978), Mineral and Metallogenic map of Kosova (Beak Consultants 2006-2008), Geochemistry of river and stream sediments (2006- 2012) etc. In addition, in this paper are analyzed geochemical and geophysical parameters in order to obtain new ideas regarding metallogenic zones of hydrothermal polymetallic deposits within the SKM metallogenic province. This paper shows that within the SKM metallogenic province could be outlined two metallogenic zones that contain Tertiary polymetallic hydrothermal deposits which we have named as: Trepça and Artana metallogenic zone. Processing of these data has enabled the achievement of ideas that are more or less different from other authors.
