Abstract

The geological, geophysical, and geochemical evidence for the existence of potassium salt deposits in lower Cambrian evaporites along the southern margins of the Siberian Craton are considered. Simultaneous uplift and deposition of the evaporites is demonstrated, at least in the Kan-Tas Basin. This explains the absence of potassium salts on the anticlinal ridges, where exploratory drilling has so far been carried out. Exploratory drilling for potassium salts should be carried out in the structural basins or on the flanks of anticlines. Promising locations for such drilling are on the Troitskii-Mikhailov anticline, north of the city of Kansk. — Auth.
