Abstract: | Breithauptite (NiSb), a rare antimonide, is generally found associated with hydrothermal vein ores of Ni and Co. In India, it has so far been recorded only from the gold-quartz veins of the Kolar Gold Field. Occurrence of this antimonide in a sediment-hosted milieu however, has seldom been noted. We report here the identification and characterization of this rare phase in both the stratiform and the vein-type ores of the sediment-hosted Zn-Pb sulphide deposits and prospects within the Dariba-Rajpura-Bethumni metallogenic belt in Northwestern India. Metamorphic remobilization from the stratiform ores of the belt has been postulated as a possible mechanism for the conspicuous segregation of breithauptite as a discrete phase within these ores. |
