Abstract
Bor and Čukaru Peki are world-class porphyry deposits spatially
and genetically associated with the Cretaceous Timok magmatic complex. This
research was conducted to determine the age and geochemical affinity of the
magmatic rocks that formed these ore deposits. Our new geochemical analyses
of magmatic rocks from Bor and Čukaru Peki deposits imply they comprise
adakite-like compositions that have undergone the amphibole fractionation
and sulphide saturation processes. The zircon ages indicate that the Bor system
was formed in the age span between 84.5–82 Ma, while the Čukaru Peki
system was created in the age span between 86.5–85 Ma.

Funding Information:The authors would like to thank the geologists from the rakita exploration Company (now called Balkan exploration and Mining) for their assistance in sampling and geological interpretation. This study was supported by the swiss national science Foundation, Project no. 200021_146651 Mineral resources: Physical dynamics driving chemical enrichment of rare metals. This research was also partly funded by an ernst MachGrant support by OeaD agency and with a CeePus mobility grant. We also thank two reviewers for their constructive comments in improving the manuscript.
