The Effect of Seismic Deformation Mechanisms on Fluid Migration in the Accumulation Area of Gold Ore Concentrations

Abstract

The mechanisms of paleodeformations during the time of fluid inflow into the accumulation area of gold ore concentrations were studied for two deposits. It was found that the mechanisms corresponded to seismic mechanisms of the DC- and NDC-types. The key effect of the deformation mechanisms as such on the migration of fluids consists in the formation of different structural and hydrodynamic organization of the ore-forming system depending on the parameters of fluid conditions, as well as in controlling the fluid flow within the accumulation area of ore concentrations.
