Application of High Resolution Space Shoot “Resource-P (Geoton)”for Forecasting Diamond Bearing Kimberlites in the Wintercoast Mineragenic Zone (Arkhangelsk Region)
Based on the interpretation of satellite imagery materials, the central part of the Arkhangelsk diamondiferous province has revealed deep faults that fix the boundaries of structural blocks, as well as “hidden” foundation faults and north-northeast strike disjuncts that control them, which control the placement of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. The reference region of the Zolotitsky ore field according to cosmic decryption is characterized by a dense network of discontinuous faults of NE- and NW-trending. In the northern part of the studied area, the ring structure in the area of articulation of the Ruchevsky ledge and the Chubal step is of greatest interest. The high density of lineaments of various orientations, the values of the magnetic field and the thickness of the sedimentary cover similar to the reference Zolotitsky field make it possible to consider this structure as a priority for setting ground verification work.
