STRUCTURAL-TECTONIC, MAGMATIC AND GEOCHEMICAL FACTORS COPPER-PORPHYRY MINERALIZATION OF THE MURGALSKAYA METALLOGENIC ZONE (CHUKOTKA AO)
There are no giant Cu-porphyry fields which are the main industrial type of Cu-porphyry deposits which are the main industrial type ore deposits abroad. But in the east of the country within the Pacific Rim there are significant prospects of finding clusters of porphyry copper ore. The main prospects of identifying porphyry copper objects in the eastern part of the Chukotka AO are associated with the areas of Murgalskaya gold-copper mineragenous zone. Within the investigated objects we have been carried out the prospecting for porphyry copper ore. We identified the main patterns of distribution of mineralization and ore-controlling factors of the studied types that are recommended as criteria for prediction by summarizing all of extensive geological and geochemical data.
