Abstract

Satellite imaging is interpreted to reveal deep faults that mark the boundaries of structural blocks and hidden basement faults with feathering of the N-NE strike that govern the localization of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in the central part of the Arkhangelsk diamondiferous province. Space-based imaging shows that the reference region of the Zolotitsky ore field is characterized by a dense network of faults in northeastern and northwestern strikes. The ring structure located at the junction of the Ruchevsky Ledge and the Chubal Step is of greatest interest in the northern part of the considered area. As in the reference Zolotitsky field, the high density of lineaments of different orientations, the values of the magnetic field, and the thickness of the sedimentary cover make this structure a priority for ground-based prospecting.
