Multifactor forecasting and prospecting model of the Kuranakh gold deposit

Abstract

A multifactor forecasting and prospecting model has been compiled for the largest gold deposit in the Central Aldan metallogenic zone. Based on the previous geological exploration results, the magmatic, lithofacial, tectonostructural, morphological, mineralogical, geochemical, and geophysical prospecting criteria and features were determined. The relevance of development of such a model is determined by that the ore region contains graben-shaped depressions similar to the ore-controlling Kuranakh depression in structure and formation conditions, that are promising for discovering of Kuranakh type gold deposits within them.
