Keywords

A strata-bound deposit of lead and/or zinc minerals in carbonate rocks, together with associated fluorite and barite. These deposits characteristically have relatively simple mineralogy, occur as veins and replacement bodies, are at moderate to shallow depths, show little post-ore deformation, are marginal to sedimentary basins, and are without an obvious source of the mineralization. Abbrev: MVT.

Geological keywords, such as “granite”, “lake”.  The definitions are generally taken from the AGI Glossary of Geology.  Keywords with a geographic context (e.g. Cape Smith Fold Belt, Selwyn Basin, Grenville Province) are assigned to a separate category.
