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 con-tains the Dukat world-class silver—gold deposit. We demonstrate the importance of volcano-plutonic centers for mineralization.
