Lithological and facial differences of ore-hosting volcanogenic and volcanosedimentary rocks of Salair-Kamenushinskoye ore field, their features, mineral and lithological-petrographic composition and metasomatic transformation pattern are discussed. Ore mineralization is examplified by Pervomayskaya ore zone confined to highly sheeted metasomatic intermediate rocks and represented by gold-bearing quartz-barite-pyrite and quartz-barite-pyrite-polymetallic sheet-like and lenticular ores. Based on Salair-Kamenushinskoye ore field predicting-prospecting model, Salair ridge deposits prospective for pyrite-polymetallic mineralization are analyzed; Salair-Kamenushinskoye ore field was found to be similar to less studied Ognevo-Zaimkovskoye ore field by many characteristics.
