Abstract

This paper presents the results of detailed geological and structural surveys within the Orikhovo-Pavlograd suture zone of the Ukrainian shield. In the northern part of the Orikhovo-Pavlograd suture zone of the Ukrainian shield, dislocation structures of several generations are identified, which differ from each other in spatial placement and R-T values of material filling. The structures of the first five generations are formed by mineral parageneses from granulite to green shale facies of metamorphism; their age is connected to the time range of 3.6–1.8 billion years. Later dislocation structures are postmetamorphic. At the micro-meso levels of the organization, the selected structures are represented by striation, shale, linearity, cleft, cracks, etc.; at the macro level, they are represented by viscous and brittle faults. Systematized data on the structural and material organization of U-, Th-containing Pivnichno Tersyansk folded shape according to the principle of hierarchy of geological structures. It is shown that this U-, Th-perspective object is a highly ordered propulsion structure. That is, its formation was provoked by Paleoproterozoic displacements and occurred synchronously with the formation of containing geological bodies by turning up existing Precambrian formations with the creation of new structural and material parageneses. An idealized model of forming a single U-, Th-perspective structure is created, this will contribute to the search for uranium-thorium mineralization and the expansion of the mineral resource base of nuclear energy in Ukraine.
