Abstract The mineral, chemical and Pb-isotope composition were investigated in the host granite and low-temperature open-fracture fillings from the 100 m deep borehole PDM-1 located in the Melechov Massif of the Moldanubian Batholith. The fillings are dominated by limonite and clay-mineral (illite, kaolinite, montmorillonite, nontronite, chlorite) mixtures, accompanied by minor amounts of residual minerals from the parent rock (quartz, feldspars, zircon, monazite). Chemically contrasting fracture assemblages occur mainly at lesser depths (
