THE NEW TYPE OF GOLD MINERALIZATION WITHIN THE PRECAMBRIAN ACCRETIONARY ZONE OF THE TAIMYR PENINSULA (RESULT OF THE SEARCH PROJECT ON THE VERHNELENINGRADSAKAYA AREA)

The main results of geological, geophysical, geochemical and exploratory drilling works for Precambrian Shrenk-­Faddeevskaya subduction fold belt zone, widespread in the Verhneleningradskaya area were carried out. Hence, analysis shows the new type gold-­sulphide-­quartz bearing zone, there were obtained productive gold-­bearing intervals and calculated a forecast resources. Mineralization is characterized by multistage formation. It is localized in metasomatically altered Early-­Upper Precambrian carbonaceous volcanogenic-­carbonate-­terrigenous stratas. The age of the mineralization is estimated 830–780 Ma. Recommendations are given for the production of further exploration.
Keywords: gold­sulphide­quartz formation, carbonaceous volcanogenic­carbonate­terrigenous stratas, Shrenk-­Faddeevskaya accretion zone, Verhneleningradskaya area, geochemical halos, ore zone, ore field, ore occurrence, inferred ore.
