  1. 1. Characterization of Cu-mineralized carbonate veins in the Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window, Norway

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Ellen Svens; [2024]
    Keywords : Greenstone belt; IOCG; Svecokarelian orogeny; Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window; Bergmark anticline;

    Abstract : The Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window is part of a regional greenstone belt that formed around 2.3 Ga – 2.0 Ga. The Bergmark anticline in the area has gone through greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism and hosts Cu, Co and Au mineralizations in hydrothermal veins, albite felsite and chemical traps.
