PLACERS OF THE URALS, CONDITIONS OF THEIR FORMATION AND DISTRIBUTION, AND SOME ELEMENTS OF A GEOMORPHOLOGICAL FORECAST

Abstract

Described are the main placers of the Urals, their association with accumulative com­plexes and tectonic structures of different age, as well as their dependence on the bed­rock sources of gold. Late Mizosoic and Late Paleogene metallogenic epochs are singled out; underlined is the role of Mezosoic erosional and structural depressions in the for­mation of Pre-Quaternary placers.
