It stands out for medium to high-grade metamorphic nappes, large plutonic and volcanic complexes, and, of course, for diverse mineralisations, mined for over 800 years. The Erzgebirge / Krušné hory has been in the focus of geoscientific research for more than two centuries. In recent years, a large number of studies were carried out or are under way, including tectonics, magmatic and metamorphic petrology, physical volcanology, economic geology, petrophysics, paleomagnetics, and geochronology. The Erzgebirge / Krušné hory comprise a large and diverse set of existing data gained from outcrop, mine edifice and drilling. Current activity, such as high-accuracy geochronology, mineral chemistry and isotopes, reprocessing of seismic lines, remote sensing and geometric modelling, adds to the understanding of this unique structural unit. Among others, the magma genesis, the plutonic-volcanic connection, and the related mineralisation are important topics. The Erzgebirge / Krušné hory is not just “Local Geology – Heimatkunde”: It’s a prime example of a well exposed and well-documented block evolved in a late- to post-continent-continent collisional setting – associated with complex mineralisations: The community should know about it! We are very pleased about the strong response to the call of this field workshop – More than 40 participants from Armenia, Chile, Czech Republic, Germany and Poland registered! Our thanks go to the organisation team of the Institute of Geology of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg! Welcome to Freiberg, with kind regards, Christoph Breitkreuz and Uwe Kroner 3 Vertical evolution of the Cínovec granite cupola – chemical and mineralogical record Breiter, K. Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Science, Rozvojová 269, CZ-165 00 Praha 6, Czech Republic; [email protected] The 1597 m deep borehole CS-1 located in the centre of the Cínovec pluton represents an ideal object for evaluation of vertical structure of rare-metal bearing magmatic systems. A combination of textural and chemical methods was applied to whole-rock and mineral samples to define chemical and mineral composition of all granite facies and to identify the extent of magmatic and metasomatic processes during differentiation of the pluton and formation of the deposit. New evolutionary model of the deposit was proposed. The Cínovec rare-metal granite in the eastern part of the Krušné Hory/Erzgebirge (Czech Republic/Germany) was formed in the final stage of magmatic evolution of the late Variscan volcano- plutonic system of the Teplice caldera. The granite is slightly peraluminous; enriched in F, Li, Rb, Cs, Nb, Ta, Sn, W, Sc and U; and poor in P, Mg, Ti, Sr and Ba. The uppermost part of the granite cupola hosts a greisen-type Sn-W-Li deposit. The fully cored borehole CS-1 permits study of the vertical evolution of the pluton to a depth of 1597 m. Based on the macroscopic inspection, automated mineralogy (TIMA) measurements, detail study of rock- forming and accessory minerals and whole-rock chemical data, the following lithological units were distinguished within the CS-1 borehole: 1. The uppermost part of the cupola from the current surface to a depth of 260 m (the "canopy" of the pluton) is composed of mostly leucocratic equigranular fine-grained albite-zinnwaldite granite (ZiGC). The granite consists of subhedral albite, anhedral quartz and zinnwaldite and sericitized K-feldspar. Typical accessory minerals are fluorite, topaz, zircon, cassiterite and columbite; in lesser amounts xenotime, thorite, and monazite. 2. Quartz- and quartz-zinnwaldite greisens (GR) were encountered in the 34–213 m interval; the largest greisen body was found at a depth of 147–167 m. Greisens are mostly medium grained, composed of anhedral mica flakes and aggregates of quartz grains, anhedral fluorite and euhedral topaz crystals. Along with ore minerals (cassiterite, columbite, scheelite>wolframite), zircon, xenotime, thorite and different REE-fluorocarbonates appear in accessory amounts. The contacts between granite and greisen are sometimes relatively sharp, with only a mm-sized transition
