Abstract
The manganese deposits in paleokarst are characterized by certain genetic dualistic features. On the one hand, they may be referred to accumulations, associated with events of leaching, redeposition of ore components by surface meteoric waters, and it may correspond, according to the general classification scheme of Patterson (1971), to typical supergene associations. On the other hand, in a wide diversity of the ore accumulations, associated with the activity of subsurface waters of the Earth’s crust (sedimentation, infiltration, regenerated, including metamorphogenous), the karst Mn ores are often characterized by relatively deep epigenetic nature that is caused by high dissolution and migration properties of the solutions under these settings.
