According to Rassios (1989): The ore and tectonic environments of Limogardi are representative of lava-hosted copper deposits of the Othris region. The primary controls for ore deposition seem to be a series of exposed and inferred listric faults, with parallel mineralization, dating from an ocean ridge system. During obduction and later compression tectonism, the lavas and ores were severely deformed, with the ores themselves preferentially sheared. The ore-destructive nature of the thrust terrane is well demonstrated at Limogardi and an added note in 2021 states The Limogardi prospect is now designated as an Archeological Protected Area, thus economic exploitation of its mineral resources is unlikely.
