The island can be divided into four major bedrock units as illustrated in Figure 8.9. The first, the Keryneia (Beşparmak), is a sequence of sediments including limestones of Permian to Recent age. The second is the Troodos Ophiolite, which occupies the central region and contains lithosphere material, dykes, pillow lavas and deep water shales, radiolarites and mantle material that is largely altered to serpentinite. This is surrounded by the Circum Troodos unit, shallow marine sediments of Upper Cretaceous to Pleistocene age. The forth unit in the south western part of the island is referred to as the Mamonia Complex, which is an assemblage of volcanic, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks of Middle Triassic and Upper Cretaceous age and was thrust onto the southern margin of Cyprus in the Cenozoic.

Seafloor massive sulphide (SMS) deposits are typically rich in base metals, such as Fe, Cu, Zn and Pb, and there formation is genetically linked to active hydrothermal vent systems (Hannington et al. 2010). These deposits are thought to be analogous to ancient volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. This study aims to identify if ancient VMS deposits can be used as analogues for SMS deposits. For this study, two genetically distinct, previously mined VMS systems were chosen. The Troodos VMS deposits are hosted within the 90 Ma Troodos ophiolite, which formed in a sediment-starved, supra-subduction environment (Robertson 2002). The 436 Ma Parys Mountain mineralisation formed within a back-arc during subduction of the Iapetus ocean as part of a sediment-covered hydrothermal system (MacLean et al. 2001). These ancient systems will be compared to data from modern SMS systems, including the deposits in the Escanaba Trough on the Gorda Ridge, and the TAG mound on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The studied rock additives were collected from the Troodos ophiolite complex (Cyprus), which is considered to be the most well preserved ophiolite worldwide. The area of the Troodos ophiolite is ca. 3200 km2, covering 1/3 of the total area of Cyprus.
