Polymetallic mineralization hosted in the Neogene sedimentary strata of the Algerian Tellian Range: A comprehensive overview

Purpose. In the electronics industry, stibium (Sb) is an important element used in development of silicon-based devices. The metallogenic district Guelma, known for its polymetallic antimony mineralization, not currently exploited. research purpose to characterize minerals and gang formations elements required as dopants during growth monocrystalline silicon. Methods. methods include detailed geological mapping sampling, XRD mineralogical identification, XRF geo-chemical analysis, atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Findings. results obtained prove that Sb mineralization youngest North-East Algeria, since it hosted dolomitized lacustrine limestone Mio-Plio-Quaternary. has been deposited by replacement filling open spaces. A supergene alteration Nadorite mineral led sulfides appearance. Originality. Unique species world have identified: Jebel Nador, Flajolotite Heimel, valentinite Senza, senarmontite Hammimat, cervantite near Aïn Kerma. Ham-man N’Baïls deposits still contain significant reserves Zn, Sb, Pb. Practical implications. With help this study, we answered questions related origin mineralizing fluids responsible formation deposits. addition epigenetic nature with unique rare throughout world, presence gold region proven chemical analysis.
