The Rudnik orefield is one of the well-known skarn-replacement and high-temperature hydrothermal Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Bi-W polymetallic sulfide deposits, and is a part of the Šumadija Metallogenic District, Serbia. It comprises ore bodies grouped into several major ore zones. The pseudostratified and platelike ore bodies have relatively high content of valuable metals. The average content varies in wide ranges: Pb (0.94–5.66 wt%), Zn (0.49–4.49 wt%), Cu (0.08–2.18 wt%), Ag (50–297 ppm), Bi (~100–150 ppm), and Cd (~100–150 ppm). Generally, a complex mineral ...
