• Description: Galena and Ag-minerals from Rožná uranium deposit were studied. Contents of Ag, Sb, Cu and other microelements in galena are very low in all particular genetic types of ores. Only galena of the siderite-sulphide vein mineralization and galena from metasomatic ores in vicinity of the hydrothermal veins contains inclusions of Cu- and Ag-minerals (freibergite, Ag-tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite and very rare chalcopyrite, bournonite, stephanite).
