Abstract

It is shown that the ore-forming systems (OFS) of the Vendian-Riphean Greenstone belts (GSB) in the Transbaikalia region were formed in a wide age range: from the Riphean to the Cenozoic. They are grouped into 6 metallogenic types. The noble metal type is divided into 6 metallogenic subtypes differed in time duration intervals of functioning. OFS evolution wore multistage nature inherited from the composition of the GSB primary rocks, with a tendency of the ore generating processes remobilization and regeneration (dynamometamorphism) changing over time by rejuvenation (shoshonite latite and picrobasalt magmatism, mud volcanism).

Highlights

  • Over the past decades, the doctrine of mineral deposits has taken a sharp turn towards the concept of “Ore-forming systems” (OFS)

Summary

Introduction

The doctrine of mineral deposits has taken a sharp turn towards the concept of “Ore-forming systems” (OFS). In addition to deposits of noble and non-ferrous metals, uranium deposits, ferruginous quartzites formation which is one of the most important minerogenic features that distinguish Greenstone belts from ophiolite ones, are associated with it
