Structural control of orogenic gold deposits of the Verkhoyansk-Kolyma folded region, northeast Russia

The Verkhoyansk-Kolyma folded region (VKFR) contains numerous Late Jurassic – Early Cretaceous orogenic gold deposits which are the source for large alluvial gold placers. This study is focused on determination of the relationship between ore-controlling structures, tectonic evolution of the region and analyzing different-aged deformations and structure of gold deposits in the region. Tectonic structures of mesothermal orogenic gold deposits...
