The Gerakario Cu-Au porphyry deposit in the Kilkis ore district, northern Greece, contains epithermal quartz-stibnite veins on the eastern side of the deposit, which crosscut a two-mica gneiss.
Quartz veins are integral to understanding how gold deposits form, distribute, and can be extracted. These geological structures, primarily consisting of quartz and various …

The resulting sheeted (parallel or unidirectional) porphyry-related quartz veins display a strong structural control and may extend considerable distances into the wall rocks (figure 3).

The second stage of metasomatic- hydrothermal alteration is accompanied with widespread veins and veinlets of High-grade magnetite (75 % Fe2O3t) - hematite- Quartz.
Ore may be present in quartz veins and (or) adjacent sulfidized wall rock. Gold is present as free grains in quartz, as blebs attached to wall rock ribbons, and in veinlets cutting sulfide grains. Individual veins are 1 to 10-m-wide discrete fissure fillings that have strike lengths of less than 100 m. Many veins show ribbon texture or, less

intrusion. Barren high temperature ptygmatic and disjointed A style quartz veins developed while the intrusion is cooling may be overprinted by stock work and linear sheeted Au veins which vary to locally wormy A style quartz-sulphide, or stock work and sheeted M style quartz-magnetite-sulphide veins. These veins and lesser
A formal classification of the textures of vein quartz has been developed for the gold deposits of North Queensland. It is based on the macroscopic appearance of quartz and discriminates primary ...

Quartz, the major constituent of most of the veinlets, is a ubiquitous gangue mineral. It can form from fluids of multiple origins and variable compositions under a wide range of temperature and pressure conditions, and thus records systematic information of ore formation (Seedorff et al., 2005, Rusk et al., 2006, Yang et al., 2015, Denget al., 2020).
