Abstract
Metallogenic zoning of the Lower Vendian trap distribution area in Volyn has been performed according to the complex metallogenic map of Ukraine at a scale of 1 : 500,000 (2003) and according to the division of the territory into structural-facial zones and subzones and taking into account deformation structures in the crystalline basement and sedimentary cover. Two metallogenic zones have been identified within the Prypiatsko-Dniesterska structuralmetallogenic zone: Lukivsko-Ratnivska cupreous with associated silver and gold and VolynoPodilska, which does not contain industrial concentrations of copper and mineralization of precious metals. Within the first metallogenic zone, Volynskyi, Kukhitsko-Volskyi and Manevytskyi metallogenic regions were identified according to a number of forecast criteria and search features. These regions territorially correspond to the areas of distribution on the pre-Mesozoic surface of certain trap sections of the Lower Vendian and the corresponding structural-facial subzones of the Brestsko-Volynska structural-facial zone. As part of the described metallogenic regions, 12 ore-bearing fields were identified, which are characterized by the degree of prospects for the detection of copper deposits with concomitant precious metal mineralization (high, medium), by the degree of reliability of prospects (reliable, medium reliability, low reliability) and by the average depth of study. It is concluded that the most productive for copper is the Volyn metallogenic region, which has six ore-bearing fields with numerous ore occurrences of native copper. The region corresponds to the area of distribution of the ore-generating Verkhnioprypiatskyi trap complex. It is characterized by the greatest completeness of the trap formation sections and a tense plicatedblock deformation structure. Key words: copper, traps, metallogenic region, ore-bearing field, Lower Vendian, Volyn.
