Abstract

Data on the distribution of Cd, Mn, Cu, Ag, Ni and Co in four monomineralic fractions each of sphalerite and pyrite from five ore samples of the Precambrian stratiform zinc-lead-copper deposit of Deri, Rajasthan are presented. The minor element geochemistry of the sulphides suggests possible volcanic exhalative origin.
