Cyprus-type copper deposit

Japanese: キプロス型銅鉱床 - キプロスがたどうこうしょう(英語表記)Cyprus‐type copper deposit
Cyprus-type copper deposit
A copper-bearing iron sulfide deposit that occurs in lenticular to massive forms in basalt lava, which is part of ophiolites. It is so named because a typical example is known to exist on the island of Cyprus. It is mainly composed of pyrite and is also used as an iron sulfide resource. It is also known to occur in Turkey and the Canadian island of Newfoundland, but all of the deposits are low-grade (1-2% copper) and small in size, so their importance as a copper resource is low. No typical examples are known to exist in Japan, but some researchers include part of the Kieslager deposit in this type.

オフィオライトの一部である玄武岩溶岩中に,レンズ状~塊状をなして産する含銅硫化鉄鉱床。キプロス島に典型的な例が知られているのでこの名がある。黄鉄鉱を主体とし,硫化鉄資源としても利用される。トルコ,カナダのニューファンドランド島などにも産出が知られているが,いずれも低品位(銅1~2%)で鉱床の規模も小さいので,銅資源としての重要度は低い。日本には典型的な例は知られていないが,キースラーガー鉱床の一部をこの型に含める研究者もいる。
