Abstract: In the study area, galena - bearing barite occurrences in rocks of Permian age, are sedimentary inorigin. Despite the occurrences were affected by regional metamorphism, strongly repeated tectonic movements andkarstification, they show enough evidences of sedimentary structures. Barites are either stratiform or vein - like.Barite veins in sedimentary deposits are related to transport during karstification and the effect of diagenesis together with syntectonic movements. According to data obtained in this study, the ore deposits do not have any direct connection with magmatic activities.The origin of ore - forming metal ions can be explained by NaCl - rich formationwater in sediments or by direct selective precipitation rather than by an exhalative - sedimentary mode of formation.
