dc.description.abstract Antimony mineralisation occurs in the form of Sb-Pb-Zn and Sb sulphide veins in the fractures of the granites present close to the Tethyan Thrust near Barashigri glacier of Himachal Pradesh. Similar strike and dip patterns of the Tethyan Thrust add the mineralised fractures indicate that the mineralisation may be either syn- or post-thrusting event. Two types of primary inclusions observed in the quartz intimately associated with the sulphides are, (i) liquid + vapour (15-40% by volume) and (ii) liquid + vapour + dark crystal, the latter being found only in Sb-Pb-Zn veins. Heating and freezing studies of the inclusions reveal that the mineralising fluid was epithermal in nature having low salinity and the final deposition of the sulphides was through a simple cooling phenomenon.
