Geological evaluation of industrial development of precious metals mineralized zone within Okolovo deposits of ferruginous quartzites
The results of geological exploration and assessment of mining conditions within gold and platinum mineralized zone at Okolovo iron ore deposit are discussed in the paper based on the available geophysical data. The author analyses contents of noble metals, and defines prospective areas for mining. The analysis of available data allows referring Okolovo mineralized zone to as promising deposit of gold and platinoids of «non-traditional type». This requires elaboration and implementation of new methods of geological exploration, and carrying out technological tests with subsequent defining of technological types of ores in course of geological exploration
