The Late Cretaceous Silistar intrusion comprises of gabbros, gabbro-diorites to quartz-diorites and aplites, that were emplaced into a volcano-sedimentary succession of similar age. Structural data suggest that this intrusion is part of a larger, partially exposed body. A dense network of primary and secondary joints, in many places filled with various ore and gangue minerals, is a conspicuous feature of the intrusion. Hydrothermal alteration affecting the intrusion and the wall rocks includes: uralitization (amphibole±epidote), secondary biotitization and propylitization. Propylitic alteration occurred in two stages: high temperature (epidote-actinolite-chlorite) and middle to low temperature (sericite-chlorite-carbonate-epidote and chlorite-sericite-carbonate). Products of later alteration events …
