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 mm  fine-grained 4-64 mm  medium-grained 64-256 mm  coarse-grained > 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. Instrusive Breccias II. Volcanic Breccias III. Phreatomagmatic Breccias IV. Magmatic-Phreatic Breccias V. Phreatic Breccias VI. Tectonic Breccias VII. Sedimentary Breccias Breccias 1. INTRUSIVE BREC BRECCIAS CIAS These are subdivided into three members : 1a.

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. Divided into nto two subub-types pes: a) Endo Endoge geno nous us Volcan lcanic ic Brecc Brecciias (no (non-er n-erup upttive ive or vent brec brecci cias as)) b) Exogen Exogeno ous (Erupt (Eruptiv ive) e) Volcani lcanicc Brec Brecci cias as 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.
