GEOLOGY AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF VEIN-TYPE LEAD AND ZINC DEPOSITS

Abstract

The geological and structural position and localization conditions of the vein-type Pb-Zn deposits of the Sadon (North Ossetia) and East Karamazar (North Tajikistan) ore districts are considered. The leading role of long-lived deep faults in the control of large deposits is emphasized. Examples of such deposits in different provinces are given. The study of fractures and faults at Pb-Zn deposits is important for understanding of the formation conditions of other hydrothermal deposits.
