Continued research is proposed on MVT-type Zn-Pb ore deposits in Ireland. These deposits are related by common metal sources in underlying metasediments and a regional hydrothermal plumbing system controlled by large fault systems. Further research goals address: (1) the chemistry and isotopic characteristics of the metal-rich fluid, (2) the cause of oxidation of metasediments underlying major ore deposits (i.e. is this related to reduction of sea water sulfate ?), (3) geographic controls on sulfur isotope chemistry in locally-derived sulfur-rich fluids. Specific objectives include: (1) mineralogic, fluid inclusion, and isotope studies of feeder veins, (2) background studies of unaltered meta- sediments to evaluate alteration associated with mineralization, (3) detailed studies of oxidized metasediments to characterize the alteration fluids.

建议继续对爱尔兰MVT型锌铅矿床进行研究。这些矿床与下伏变质沉积中的共同金属来源和受大型断裂系统控制的区域热液管道系统有关。进一步的研究目标涉及：(1)富金属流体的化学和同位素特征，(2)主要矿床下变质岩的氧化原因(即这是否与海水硫酸盐还原有关？)，(3)局部来源的富硫流体中硫同位素化学的地理控制。具体目标包括：(1)供矿脉的矿物学、流体包裹体和同位素研究；(2)未蚀变变质沉积物的背景研究，以评估与矿化有关的蚀变作用；(3)氧化变质岩的详细研究，以确定蚀变流体的特征。
