OBS

"Gisements volcaniques". - Certaines régions volcaniques sont riches en manifestations métallifères, variées et plus ou moins dispersées. Cependant, il est rare qu'une venue de laves ait déterminé directement une minéralisation métallifère. Ceci provient sans doute du dégagement prématuré et rapide des minéralisateurs sous forme de gaz volcaniques.
