In the tendency to right skew. Arithmetic average and eastern Erzgebirge only two areas of Hainichen median are at 57 mg/kg and 27 mg/kg, respectively. As > 100 mg/kg exist encompassing the Freiberg The range between maximum (6830 mg/kg) and mining district and the area between the Sadisdorf minimum concentration (0.6 mg/kg) is enormous. and Rehefeld deposits. At the Sadisdorf deposit , Project supported by: Arsenic is a ubiquitous element accompanying Cu, Ag and Sn were historically mined and various mineralising events. Average As levels in processed. In contrast, the Rehefeld deposit areas of Neoproterozoic and Lower Paleozoic includes carbonate hosted stratiform Pb-Zn Freiberg metamorphic rocks are higher than in areas with mineralisation. Small spots of similar As levels intrusive and younger Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. accompany the Ag/Pb/Zn vein deposit of Mohorn- Dippoldiswalde Areas of high As content (As > 250 mg/kg) coincide Grund and an area NE of Seiffen. Furthermore, As with the central Freiberg mining district, the levels > 60 mg/kg occur near the Sn-greisen Gottesberg Sn-greisen deposit as well as the deposits of Altenberg and Zinnwald-Cinovec as well Brunndöbra (Ba) and Schneckenstein (U) deposit. as in the area of the ring-shaped phyllite and Also, areas with As > 100 mg/kg include the greisen micaschist envelope of the Schwarzenberg gneiss and vein deposits of Geyer-Ehrenfriedersdorf, the cupola. Minima (As < 10 mg/kg) occur in BiCoNi district of Johanngeorgenstadt and metasediments near Adorf and in gneisses of the Schneeberg, stratiform Sn mineralisation of the southern central Erzgebirge.
