New data on the types of sulfide copper-nickel ores of the Kharaelakh trough and the main patterns of their distribution

Abstract

The types of magmatic sulfide ores on the Western flank of the Oktyabrsky deposit have been studied, and the patterns of their distribution have been established. The features of ore-bearing rocks within the western branch of the Kharayelakh intrusive Talnakh ore field have been studied. The morphology of ore bodies is described and mineralogical characteristics of ore types in the western part of the Kharaelakh intrusion are given according to drilling data of recent years. The data of earlier studies on the types of ores and their spatial placement on the flanks of the Oktyabrsky deposit are summarized and confirmed. The main patterns of spatial distribution, composition and morphology of copper-nickel sulfide ore deposits on the western flank of the Oktyabrsky deposit are identified, which can be used as search criteria for further geological exploration.
