Applying Remote Sensing to the Detection of Tectonic Structures and Localization of Ore Deposits within Biryusa and Krepskii-Tumanshet Ore Clusters (Eastern Sayan)

Abstract

Decoded records of the Biryusa area made by the Resource-P space wide-swath multispectral equipment (WSME) (Russia) has allowed the tectonic structure of the anticline horst uplifts and the graben synclines separating them to be revealed, the important role of sublatitudinal faults in the structure of the area to be shown, and ore-prospective sites to be outlined. The study of the Krepskii-Tumanshet area was carried out using Resource-P (Geoton) multispectral and panchromatic high-resolution equipment, which made it possible to determine the structural position of the ore deposits. Within the Krepskii-Tumanshet area, the ore-controlling structures are short faults of sublatitudinal strike and their intersections with the faults of northwestern and northeastern orientation.
