A NEW TYPE OF ORE MINERALIZATION IN PRECAMBRIAN CONGLOMERATES ON THE WESTERN SLOPE OF THE SOUTHERN URALS

Abstract

Precambrian conglomerates are known in composition of Marshakskaya suite (R2) within the western slope of the Southern Ural. Terrigenic and other formations are noted in the paleoriftogenic structure. Investigations of the terrigenic formations have been performed. Results of the investigations have made it possible to obtain original information on their metal-bearing behavior. New type of noble-metal mineralization for Ural has been separated. Geological information and the investigation results show that complex platinum-gold-iron oxide mineralization is new one for Ural.
