Popis: Introduction: The subject of this paper is a study the metamorphite shists from the old mines around the Mala Moravka-Karlova Studianka in which is magnetite ore, with ferrous chlorites present.Materials and methods: Samples were taken directly from the reservoir and the surrounding of the ore, then the samples were observed in the microscope in transmitted and reflected light, and were carried out X-ray analysis of XRD and SEM-EDS.Results: In the quartz-chlorite slates occur fibroblastic structure with numerous microfolds. X-ray analysis of rocks indicates the presence of calcite, quartz and ferrous chlorites of magnesium-ferrous group. The ore has a steel-gray color, granoblastic structure, layered, compact texture, sometimes with microfolds and deformations. The ore has a lenticular layers of quartz. Background of the ore are doubly and triply twinned magnetite and hematite idioblasts in some cases.Conclusions: The ore zone analysis indicates hydrothermal origin of the ore, which escaped to the earth surface by means of exhalations was deposited as sediment in clayey material. These deposits were metamorphosed in the chlorite facies.
