Abstract
The Zlaté Hory ore deposits — as an example of volcanogenic, strata-bound, massive, base-metal sulfides occurring in the Devonian formations of the Jeseníky Mts. — are compared with distinctive Phanerozoic types representing this type of ore deposit, i.e., with Kuroko-type, Rosebery-type, Besshi-type and Cyprus-type deposits. The results of comparison performed with fuzzy-linguistic diagnosis indicate close resemblance of the Zlaté Hory deposits to Rosebery-type massive sulfides with regard to primary features; however, individual features point to certain original similarity with Kuroko-type deposits, too. The metamorphic history of the ore deposits studied was similar to that of the Rosebery and Besshi types.
