Abstract

The main goal of this work is to determine the patterns of mineralization distribution and its relationship with zones of secondary changes, dikes and faults of various orientations at the territory of the Khuzhir ore field in order to uncover new promising areas. Since the 2010s, prospecting and exploration work has been actively carried out in the study area. In different parts of it, according to the results of geophysical and geochemical surveys, drilling was carried out, mine workings were built, ditches were cleared. However, no new ore bodies that would be economically viable to mine have been found. Therefore, in order to achieve our goal, in this work it was decided to apply a new approach - lineament analysis. For that was carried out selection of linear structures on the basis of the Earth remote sensing materials, including the use of specialized software.
