The Chereshkite ore occurrence is located between two small villages – Dolno Chereshkite and Gorno Chereshkite, in the Central Rhodopes, near the Greek border. The Au-Ag mineralization is hosted by small granitoid bodies and partially by gneisses. The ore forming process is accompanied by intensive silicification and sericitization of the wallrock.
