Mineralization styles and formation temperatures of the Knaben molybdenum deposits, southern Norway

The report documents the lithologies and molybdenite mineralization exposed in underground mines of the Knaben molybdenum (Mo) mining district in Kvinesdal, Vest-Agder, SW Norway. Scanning electron microscope cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) and trace element analyses of quartz by laser ablation inductively coupled mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) were performed on 37 quartz and quartz-bearing samples in order to better understand the P-T conditions during magma emplacement and Mo-mineralization.
