(Bog ie & M ackenzie, 1998) 1998)
VOLC VO LCA A N I C B R E C C I A VOLCANIC BRECCIA is pyroclastic pyroclastic (fire-formed fragments) fragme nts) and forms in explosiv exp losive e eruptions. It is a mix of large angular fragments and small ash. Often, the material is hot when it comes to rest and cools (welds) into a very hard rock.
BRECCIAS
Breccia is rocks that composed of clast (fragments) (fragm ents) > 2 mm size and angular ang ular nor sub-angular sub-a ngular shape, shape , cement (hydrotermal (hydrotermal mineral or crystalline igneous rock rock)) and open space
Grain-size Grain -size of subdivision sub division of clast are are : 2-4

256 mm very coarse grained
Bryner (1968) (196 8) recognized recognized problem when he ppointed out that many clasts in hydrothermal breccia are mostly mostly rounded, so the th e term of “breccia” was was misleading mislea ding in these cases
Breccias
in some some cases ca ses consists of fragments fragm ents that are neither angular nor sub-angular sub-a ngular (e.g. (e .g. Pebble breccia)
GENETIC CLASSIFICATION OF BRECCIAS There are seven principal types of breccia comprising 13 sub-types occuring occuring in epithermal-porphyry mineral deposits : I.

2. VOLCANIC BRECCIAS BRE CCIAS The essentil feature of these breccia s is that the energy causi using brecciation ion (and/or) ejec ecttion ion from the volcano) is dependent on the release of pressure of mag magmat matic volatiles.

3. PHREATOMAGMATIC BRECCIAS These are equivalent to hydromagmatic breccias (Sillitoe , 1985). Phreatomagma tism occurs when upwelling magma encounter water. This may be groundwater, connate water, or a body of surfa ce watter wa er.T .Thi hi brec brecccias divided into : a. Endogenous (non eruptive) phreatomagmatic breccias b. Exogenous Breccias

6. TECTONIC BRECCIAS
Formed by the mechanical disruption of rocks in response to tectonic stress. May grind clasts to rock flour forming gouge or mylonite Tend to occur in identifiable, usually steeply dipping, fault planes Tectonic breccias are major importance for mineralization in metamorphic terraines If mineralization is as sociated with a tectonic breccia in nonmetamorphosed volca can nic terrain, it is unlikely that the tectonism caused the mine raliz ation, and so the function of the b reccia is pro probabl bablyy just ust to pro provide vide per permeable ble path path for miner neralzing fluids uids.. trackin king the extent of the Exploration strategy should cons ist o f tra brec breciia, and sepa eparatel tely inter nterpr pret etiing the miner neralizing proc proces esss eral aliizat zation appears to have pre pre-dat dated fau faulting, the pos possib sibility If miner of co conc nceealed cutcut-o off miner neralized zone shoul hould d be co cons nsiider ered ed..
