Abstract
Replacement of terrigenous quartz and other minerals by sulphides was observed in the grey sandstone of Lower Permian, SW Poland. The process is connected with diagenetic mobilization of metals in the copper-bearing shale and their migration into the underlying, porous sandstones. The role of clay-organic microlayers acting as semipermeable membranes seems to be valid, controlling the conditions of the environment and the extraction of metals.
