Abstract

The development of Russia’s largest Gorevskoye leadzinc deposit (Gorevsky GOK, Novoangarsky OK) will depend on promising deposits of the Angara polymetallic ore region, in particular, those of the Rassokhinsky ore cluster. Based on the analysis of geological and geophysical information of previous and current studies, a major Limonite pyrite-polymetallic (massive sulfide) deposit is forecasted within it. The main lithological and stratigraphic criterion for the localization of ores is determined by their confinement to high-carbon black quartz-sericite schists of the upper subformation of the Potoskuy suite of the Upper Riphean. In the top of this pack, layered and massive pyrite-polymetallic ores, 70–140 m thick, are localized. Based on PPA data, lead and zinc content in core varies from fractions of a percent to several percent, based on the ICP-AES method: 0,1–3,7 % Pb, 0,1–6,4 % Zn, Pb : Zn ratio is 1 : (1–10).
