Our Chapter organized its last field trip in 2014 (7.-9. November) to investigate various mineralization styles and mining activities in the Krušné hory/Erzgebirge Mts., the mountain region spanning the border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
The main attractions of the field trip were underground visits to: –the historical mines of Krupka (hydrothermal Mo-W vein mineralization) –Markus-Röhling-Stolln in WiesaSchönfeld (Ag-Co mineralization) –Dorothea-Stolln in Annaberg-Buchholz (Ag-CoNi-Cu mineralization) –Markus-Semmler Stollen in Schneeberg (U stockwork) –with several stops including Zlatý kopec (polymetalic magnetite skarn).
Fourteen students participated in this 3-days field-trip, which was led by David Dolejs.
