Comparative Geological and Economic Assessment of the Titanium Deposits of Ukraine Using the Example of the Novomyrhorod Placers District

Abstract

The article considers one of the methods of geological and economic assessment – ranking of titanium ore deposits on a point scale on the example of the Novomyrhorod placer district, which includes the Birzulivske deposit, Likarivske, Andriivske, Valuivske, Novomyrhorod placers, as well as the Eastern and Western residual areas. A brief geological description of the compared titanium objects is given, as well as the geological, qualitative and economic indicators are used to make a comparative geological and economic assessment of the studied deposits and placers. The use of a scoring scale allows comparing objects with different degrees of exploration and can be used to determine the prospects of any deposit among a number of objects with a limited amount of information.
