Geology of giant quartz veins and their host rocks from the Eastern Pyrenees (Southwest Europe)
Giant Quartz Veins (GQVs) are ubiquitous in different tectonic settings and, besides being often related to hydrothermal ore deposits, also represent large-scale fingerprints of the structural and geochemical history of the rocks in which they are hosted.

The Pyhäntaka formation, Southern Finland: A sequence of metasandstones and metavolcanic rocks upon an intra-orogenic unconformity [PDF]
Detrital zircon studies suggest that the few quartzite occurrences in southern Finland are younger than 1.87 Ga and express sedimentation after 1.89–1.87 Ga accretional deformation and metamorphism in the Svecofennian orogenic belt.

Field, petrological and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb geochronological data of metavolcanic rocks were used to interpret the petrological processes and to propose the tectonic setting for the Mundo Novo greenstone belt (MNGB) in the eastern São Francisco Craton.

Stratigraphy of the central parts of the Palaeoproterozoic Tampere Schist Belt, southern Finland: review and revision [PDF]
The arc-type Palaeoproterozoic volcanic-sedimentary Tampere Schist Belt (TSB), close to the centre of the Svecofennian Orogen, comprises an E-W-striking major synform in its central parts.

Basic and ultrabasic volcanic rocks from the Argyll Group (Dalradian) of NE Scotland [PDF]
The Dalradian Supergroup of the Scottish Highlands is a largely metasedimentary succession of Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian age, metamorphosed during the Caledonian Orogeny.

PHYSICAL-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF METAVOLCANIC ROCKS OF THE MOUNTAIN CRIMEA
The article considers the petrogenetic features of the volcanogenic rocks of the Middle Jurassic age of the Mountain Crimea and analyzes their influence on physical (density, porosity, water absorption, and magnetic susceptibility) and physical-mechanical properties (strength, modulus of elasticity, and Poisson's ratio). Among volcanogenic strata there

THE NEOPROTEROZOIC ISLAND-ARC ASSOCIATION OF THE MUKODEK GOLD-ORE FIELD, NORTHERN BAIKAL AREA
Metamorphosed volcanic rocks of the Ushmukan suite were studied in the Mukodek gold-ore field located in the Baikal-Muya belt in the Northern Baikal area, Russia. The Ushmukan suite shows interleaving of ortoschists which compositions are widely variable.

GENETIC AND EXPLORATION IMPLICATIONS OF THE ZINC RATIO [100 Zn/(Zn + Pb)] IN THE RODRUIN PROSPECTING AREA OF THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE -EGYPT [PDF]
Rodruin Prospecting Area (26o21/59//N, 33o20/32//) in the Golden Triangle -Egypt, was exploited by the Ancient Egyptian Miners. They exploited gold from gossans and gossanous gold-bearing quartz veins.

The Mesoproterozoic sub-Heddersvatnet unconformity, Telemark, South Norway [PDF]
The 1.51 Ga Rjukan group,Telemark, S Norway, is divided into felsic volcanic rocks of the Tuddal formation and mafic rocks of the Vemork formation. It is overlain by the sedimentary rocks of the Vindeggen group (1.50-1.17 Ga), starting with the arkosic ...
