ЗОЛОТО В ПОРОДАХ СЕВЕРНОЙ ЧАСТИ ЗОНЫ УРАЛТАУ (ЮЖНЫЙ УРАЛ)

The paper considers the position of carbonaceous shales in sections of Suvanyaksky and Maksyutovsky complexes of the Northern part of the Uraltau megazone, and their affiliation to terrigenous-carbonaceous and siliceous-carbonaceous formational types is determined. It has been established that high gold concentration in the sediments of terrigenous-carbonaceous formations is confined to the area of influence of rupturing and folding deformations, within which the carbonaceous rocks are intensively sheeted and metamorphosed to the level of sericite (muscovite)-chloritic subfacies. An assessment of prospects for gold in carbonaceous deposits, quartz veins, igneous rocks and sulfide bearing metasomatic rocks is presented. It is shown that the search of gold ore mineralization in these areas should be conducted at the crossing of carbonaceous shale and large faults controlling the migration paths, redistribution and mobilization of gold.
