Mine Ari 3


Distal Pb-Zn-Cd-Ag ore mineralization (about 3 km W of the Plaka intrusion) associated with brecciated marbles hosted within the Lavrion schists of the Blueschist Unit.
"The mineralization occurs in the form of cockade breccias around the marble fragments and comprises base metal sulfides in a carbonate gangue. It consists of colloform-banded sphalerite and galena with minor amounts of other sulfides (pyrite, chalcopyrite, greenockite) and sulfosalts (Ag-rich
tetrahedrite, famatinite, pyrargyrite, stephanite and bournonite), included in galena." (Voudouris et al., 2019).
The mineralization formed at low temperatures (~100 to 200 °C) from fluids of intermediate to high salinity (Voudouris et al., 2019).

Probably identical to the Damianos Mine.
