Abstract
Many massive sulfide ore occurrences and deposits in the Kola region are located within the Paleoproterozoic Pechenga–Imandra–Varzuga rift belt (2.5–1.7 Ga). They are hosted by volcanosedimentary complexes of the South Pechenga (Bragino ore occurrence) and western Imandra–Varzuga structural zones (Pirrotinovoe Ushchel’e deposit, Tahtarvumchorr ore occurrence, etc.). The age of the massive sulfide ore was estimated at ca. 1.9 Ga. The ores and their host complexes underwent amphibolite-facies metamorphism, which accounts for their specific mineral composition. The types of ores in the Bragino ore occurrence are discussed, the mineral assemblages are listed, and the major ore minerals, that is, pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, marcasite, etc., are characterized.
