Metallogenesis in the Iberian Pyrite Belt

One of the truly outstanding characteristics of the South Portuguese Zone (SPZ) is the abundance and dimensions of the massive sulphide deposits contained herein. The part of the SPZ where these ores exist or are likely to be found is well known in the literature as the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB). Also abundant, although modest in size and in economic significance, are manganese deposits, which usually are found not far from the massive sulphide deposits.
