Abstract:
By analogy with other metallogenic belts of the Circum-Pacific ring, the metallogenic belts in the Northeast of Russia are promising for discovery of large and superlarge porphyry-type Au-Cu-Mo deposits. The spatial distribution of these deposits is controlled by intrusive domes in Middle Paleozoic, Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous, and Late Cretaceous volcanic belts. New data on formation conditions and sources of ore matter are presented in this paper with respect to the deposits of the Baim and Koni-P'yagina ore districts of the Oloi and Uda-Murgal metallogenic belts. Some aspects of a geological and genetic model of the porphyry copper ore-magmatic system are discussed. © Pleiades Publishing, Inc. 2006.
