SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF LATE MESOZOIC ORE DEPOSITS IN THE EASTERN TRANSBAIKAL REGION (RUSSIA)

Abstract

The paper continues the earlier publication (Rybalov, 2000), which showed that the Late Mesozoic deposits in the eastern Transbaikai ore province form evolutionary rows. Regularities of their spatial distribution are considered using materials on several ore-controlling geological factors-principally, tectonic position in basement blocks, composition of basement, magmatism, fault zones, geochemical properties of rocks, and metallogenic peculiarities of ore districts. The analysis of these materials reveals that a combination of all listed factors is responsible for localization of different-type deposits.
