It was found that the fault network density increases within the subzones, which characterizes them as increased permeability areas favorable for kimberlite melts uprising.

Subsequently, the Urgailyg, Proezdnoe, and Chumurtuk forecasted gold ore fields were delineated within the Elegest-Mezhegei cluster; the Despen ore field was delineated within the Aptara ore cluster; and the Ovur-Ongesh ore field was outlined within the Shivilig cluster.

The article summarizes the investigation history, geological-structural position, geological features, and geochemical specialization of the rocks of the East Tannu-Ola region. Descriptions of the ore clusters embrace peculiarities of their geological structure, ore mineralogy, and native gold, as well as parameters of the gold-sulfide-quartz, goldskarn, gold-containing polymetallic VMS, and porphyry molybdenum-copper mineralized zones.

The mineralization is predominantly confined to intersections of Late Jurassic minor intrusive bodies and NE-trending fracture systems and is represented by zones of thin quartz veinlets with sericite-quartz halos. The major ore mineral is gold-bearing arsenopyrite (up to 10%), while minor minerals are represented by lellingite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite. Microscopic native gold of a low fineness is paragenetically associated with bismuth minerals (bismuthine, native bismuth, andtellurides of Bi and Au), forming microinclusions (1–10 μ) in the arsenopyrite. Isochronous Re-Os age of the goldbearing arsenopyrite is 137–117 Ma, which suggests the mineralization was formed significantly later than the hosting granitoids (147–153 Ma). The reduced intrusionrelated Au ore deposit was formed at shallower depths in comparison with orogenic Au deposits, and at lower temperatures in comparison with rare metal (W, Mo) ore deposits.","PeriodicalId":19636,"journal":{"name":"Ores and metals","volume":"146 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85339152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
