Role of thrusts in the formation of epithermal Au-Ag deposits in the Paleozoic Kedon volcanic belt (Northeastern Russia)

All the available data on the Kubaka and Birkachan epithermal deposits are consistent with two versions of their genetic models (Paleozoic and Mesozoic). Despite the different interpretations of the role of large thrust structures generally favorable for ore formation, both these models are also sui...

Description
Summary:All the available data on the Kubaka and Birkachan epithermal deposits are consistent with two versions of their genetic models (Paleozoic and Mesozoic). Despite the different interpretations of the role of large thrust structures generally favorable for ore formation, both these models are also suitable for forecasting and prospecting investigations. The development of such thrusts in the volcanic structures of the Kedon volcanic belt may serve as an important forecasting pros pecting criterion for discovery of potentially large epithermal deposits including their buried types.
