Distribution
Common. Sparsely, but widely, distributed throughout the Tsumeb deposit.
Paragenetic and General Notes
In contrast with many polymetallic base metal sulphide deposits,
chalcopyrite is not the principal copper ore mineral at Tsumeb, being subordinate
to tennantite, bornite, and chalcocite. This fact reflects the
relatively iron-defficient nature of the Tsumeb mineralisation.
