Schemes of Zmeinogorsk ore field structure made in 1996, 1960 and 1949 have been analyzed. The schemes differ from each other in contents and prospecting trends. This study is based on the 1949 scheme, made on the basis of the results of extensive mining and drilling operations. Based on the analysis of stratigraphy, LA-Q-ICP-MS dating results by U-Pb method, rocks composition, plicative and disjunctive dislocations of sedimentary, volcanic and subvolcanic formations, as well as their relationship, an updated scheme of Zmeinogorsk ore field structure is suggested. It belongs to rhyolite dome-type, which is also charactered to the neighboring Leninogorsk ore district.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
