MANTLE-CRUST ORE-FORMING SYSTEMS OF PRECIOUS METALS

A. F. Korobeinikov

The article deals with the relay-pulsating concept of mineral-forming processes development leading to the concentration of precious metals in the Earths crust. It is shown that the formation of the largest goldore and complex gold-platinoid deposits occurred under active participation of deep metalliferous magmathermofluidodynamical systems as products of plume tectonics, paleodiapirism and deep metasomatism.

Key words: precious metals, mantle-crust ore-forming systems, ore-metasomatic zoning.
