Volcano-plutonic centers: Typomorphic (source-related) mineralization-controlling structures in volcanogenic belts: Northeast Russia

摘要

The volcanic structures in the volcano-plutonic belts in East Russia and the Cenozoic volcanic belts in Kamchatka exhibit vastly different levels of erosion. The volcanic structures in the Sea-of-Okhotsk-Chukchi volcanogenic belt reflect the structure at different depths in the system-forming typomorphic ore-bearing features (volcano-plutonic centers or VPC). We consider an example, viz., the Kakhovka VPC, which is situated in the Balygychan-Sugoi depression of the Sea-of-Okhotsk-Chukchi volcanogenic belt and contains the Dukat world-class silver-gold deposit. We demonstrate the importance of volcano-plutonic centers for mineralization.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] Show less
