| Abstract: | |
| Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered parts of the ancient silver workings of the Akersberg mine in the city of Oslo. Pb-Zn mineralization is confined to a partially brecciated Permian diabase intrusion which intersects the Ordovician slate/limestone sequence of the area. The sulphides occur as steeply dipping veins - partly within the diabase and partly at the diabase contact. The main ore minerals are pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite, argentite, sternbergite, hessite and covellite are accessory constituents. Brecciation with "crack-and-seal" structures are common and reflest several episodes of mineralization. Supergene alteration processes have led to the silver enrichment in secondary silver minerals that coat the primary sulphide minerals. The diabase dyke follows the NW-SE-trending fracture pattern of the Oslo district, and subsequent development of cross-cutting fissures in the diabase may have allowed the introduction of ore-bearing fluids. Lead isotope analysis of galenas from Akersberg reveal a pattern comparable to that of other Pb-Zn vein deposits within the Oslo Graben and point to a granitic source of the metals. |
