Abstract

LOPEZ K, Jesús. M; VERA, Antonio; PACHECO, Pilar  and  TOUJAGUE, Regla. GEOLOGY OF THE FLORENCIA GOLD - TELLURIDE DEPOSIT (CAMAGÜEY, CUBA) AND SOME METALLURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS. Earth Sci. Res. J. [online]. 2006, vol.10, n.2, pp.105-116. ISSN 1794-6190.

This paper describes the results from a study of the Florencia gold-telluride deposit in Central Cuba, including mineralogical, petrographical, microprobe and chemical analysis. Valuable information is provided for the exploration, mining and processing of gold ores from other nearby deposits with similar characteristics. Results highlight changes in the mineralogical composition of the ores between the north and south sectors of the deposit, as reflected in metallurgical concentrates after beneficiation and flotation of samples from these sectors. It is shown that gold deposits of the Cretaceous Volcanic Arc of Cuba largely consist of native gold, telluride and pyrite, where arsenopyrite is almost absent. Traces of lead, zinc and cadmium are present in the periphery of the main ore zones.

Keywords : Volcanic arch; Cretaceous; Mineralogy; Electronic microprobe; Petrography; Gold; Telluride; Florencia; Cuba.
