• Description: Sphalerites of stratabound disseminated mineralization, pre-uranium siderite-sulphide veins including metasomatic mineralization, and post-uranium barite-sulphide veins were studied. Mineral assemblages and paragenesis of samples, chemical results of WDA and EDA analyses (61 point analyses) and isotopic data of sulphides are presented in this study. The studied sphalerites differ significantly in their chemistry and isotopic composition of sulphur according to their genesis.
