Nevadian-type gold fields (Carlin-type) in the RF territory (Taimyr-Severozemel’sky region): discovery potential
The current stage in the global systems development responds to the change of technological paradigm, the growth of consumption on a general industrial scale, which causes bifurcation phenomena in macroeconomy. At the national level, this leads to the need in ensuring economic security and forming gold and foreig exchange reserves, including the placing of new gold deposits on the State Balance Sheet. In light of the above, the issue of a new large gold field discovery in the Russian Federation, which could replace the already extracted reserves and significantly increase the strategic reserves of the country, is of particular importance. At the same time, objects that can be competitive with Natalka or Sukhoi Log deposits are not yet discovered. The authors believe that one of the reasons is methodology. In particular, assessment of prospective ore-bearing areas is conducted in accordance with the methods conventional in our country, which take into account the “standard” features of gold-bearing areas genesis and morphology.
