Abstract
Magnesite deposits in the Central Western Carpathians belong among the biggest deposits in the Europe. Their today’s structure is mainly the result of the Alpine orogenesis. During this period several deformation stages were active, which deformed the deposit body. This resulted in today’s complicated structure of the deposit. The genesis of deposit is still ambiguous; however, the importance of the Alpine orogen is clear at least from structural point of view. The presented individual deformation stages show multiple compressional and extensional phases. Identification of properties of individual structures directly helps at exploitation of individual parts of the deposit.
