Identification of geostructural conditions for the localization of the copper-molybdenum and gold mineralization in the Mongoli ore field based on the interpretation of anomalous geochemical field structural patterns
Abstract
In the paper, the author’s methodical approach to the interpretation of anomalous geochemical fields in terms of structural geology is suggested. The geostructural map of the studied part of the Mongoli ore field was compiled based on the interpretation of mono- and polyelemental anomalous geochemical fields. Geodynamic environments of formation of the Cu-Mo with minor Au mineralization and the Au mineralization are described. A conclusion is made about their multi-stage formation. Geostructural criteria for the identification of promising areas, ore zones and bodies are proposed.
