CONT

Les brèches chimico-physiques ou de métasomatose résultent de la substitution d'un minéral à un autre suivant un réseau de fissures, ce qui donne à la roche un aspect bréchique.

CONT

De nombreux gisements de plomb-zinc stratiformes se trouvent soit dans le faciès bréchique soit à proximité.

CONT

On note que les faciès non bréchiques sont plus riches que les faciès bréchiques et que les teneurs en or sont plus faibles en surface qu'en profondeur.
