...K. A. Hudson-Edwards; S. J. Edwards Abstract The Mathiatis massive sulphide deposit in Cyprus was a low-grade (0.3% Cu), three million ton ore body of pyrite and minor chalcopyrite occurring within basaltic lavas of the Troodos ophiolite. Cessation of mining in 1987 left a deep open pit surrounded...

... mineralogical and geochemical study of the Pitharokhoma alteration pipe and reconnaissance studies of other pipes. Together with complementary work on the Agrokipia B pipe (Robinson et al., 1987) and the Mathiati pipe (Lydon and Galley, 1986), these studies allow three types of pipe to be distinguished, namely...

... mining ceases. Hudson-Edwards and Edwards (2005) describe the distribution, mineralogical controls and potential remobilization of four potential contaminants: As, Cu, Pb and Zn, from one such site, the Mathiatis former mine, in Cyprus. The authors find that the mobility of these contaminants following...

...). Stockwork field from Richards et al. ( 1989 ; stockworks include Pitharokhoma, Mathiati, Sha, Kokkinopezoula, Hole CY2A). Chlorite and mixed-layer smectite/chlorite compositions were recalculated on the basis of 28 anhydrous oxygens; these phases were distinguished on the basis of compositional criteria...

... in the Bonin Ridge and suprasubduction zone ophiolites also extend to the geologic structure of the host volcanics. For example, hydrothermal alteration and mineralization in the massive sulfide deposits of Troodos and Oman commonly occur in fault-bounded grabens. One such example is the Mathiati deposit...
