Росен, Oбщина Созопол, Област Бургас, България


Abandoned copper mining district, centered on the village of Rosen.

Vein-type deposits formed by relatively high-​temperature fluids (320-​365°).

More than 40 E- to NE-striking veins (along the western contact of the syenite-dominated Rosen pluton), the most important formerly mined to depths as great as 1,000 m, contain an early, pegmatoidal, calcic-potassic assemblage followed by predominant magnetite (including the mushketovite variety), chlorite, and carbonates but also quartz, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and numerous other metallic minerals, which combine to give an unusual Fe-Cu-Au-Mo-Co-Ni-U-light rare earth element (LREE)-W-Bi-Zn-Pb geochemical signature (Sillitoe et al., 2020).


Rosen (Bulgarian: Росен) is a village in Sozopol Municipality, in Burgas Province, in south-eastern Bulgaria.

The village is situated at the river Rosenska, a tributary to the Ropotamo, at the western foothills of Medni Rid Ridge, which is the north-eastern extreme of the Bosna Ridge in the Strandzha Mountains. It is located at about 22 km south of Burgas and 19 km of the municipal centre Sozopol on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
