In the broder area near the village of Stanos, As-Cu-Ag-Bi mineralization is hosted by a km-long, NW-SE trending ductile to brittle shear zone within Silurian orthogneisses. An initial introduction of pyrite, arsenopyrite, and pyrrhotite was followed by a Cu-bearing stage that is associated with the formation of chalcopyrite, minor sulfides (galena, sphalerite, and molybdenite) and Bi-Cu-Pb-Au-Ag-Te minerals. Ancient mining activity of the deposit is reflected by the Cu-Au mines of Paliomylos, Chalkoma and Karambogia.
