An experience in geomorphological methods application to searches for gold ores at the Eastern USSR
Abstract
Elements of geomorphology had been applied until recently only to searches for mineral placers. Recently ancient planation surfaces and associated linear weathering crusts were identified at the eastern USSR, as well as oxidized zones up to 300 meters thick including subzone of hypergenous enrichment about 50 meters thick. Thus direct geomorphological criteria could be successfully used for gold ores searches.
