Structure of jet-like dispersion halos of deeply buried mineral deposits in the Rudny Altai
Abstract
Results of a detailed study by various methods, including geoelectrochemical, of superimposed scattering halos in three pyrite-polymetallic deposits of the Rudny Altai, covered by allochthonous sediments having a thickness of tens and hundreds of meters are presented. It is shown that the chemical element scattering halos are formed as narrow subvertical jets with widened horizontal section area near the day surface. The relationship of anomalous metal contents with elevated carbon dioxide content, the decrease in values of pH and electrical resistivity of soils are recorded. The efficiency of the application of methods for the identification of superimposed scattering halos of deeply buried ores is confirmed.
