The structure and evolution of the Kaiemraveem volcanic field: A new ore field in the Chukchi Peninsula

This paper describes the tectonic setting, structure and evolution of the Kaiemraveem volcanic field in the Chukchi Peninsula; the field contains a major gold-silver deposit (Kupol) and several promising fields of similar mineralization (together they form the Kaiemraveem ore region). It is shown th...

Description
Summary:This paper describes the tectonic setting, structure and evolution of the Kaiemraveem volcanic field in the Chukchi Peninsula; the field contains a major gold-silver deposit (Kupol) and several promising fields of similar mineralization (together they form the Kaiemraveem ore region). It is shown that specific modes of structure generation were operative during the three main phases of volcanism. A paleovolcanological reconstruction of the volcanic field is suggested.
