RT Journal Article T1 Propuesta de caracterización tipológica de yacimientos españoles de metales preciosos T1 Typological classification of Spanish precious metal deposits: a proposal A1 Castroviejo, Ricardo AB Last decade's intensive exploration for precious metals in Spain led to a new understanding of various types of deposits and prospects and to the modification of previous schemes, allowing the systematic (typological) classification o f the Spanish precious metals deposits shown in Table 7: 9 large groups and 79 types are defined in the framework of the Iberian Geology. Hypogene deposits in the Hercynian Hesperian Massif, and epithermal gold deposits in the Neogene calc-alcaline Volcanic Province of SE Spain have been very much explored and are therefore emphasized, although their mining production is by far not to compare with the precious metals output from the SW Iberian Pyrite Belt. The exploration significance of the main types and some problems for future research are discussed PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1995 FD 1995 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/13741 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/13741 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 30 may 2026
