The geological and genetic models of noble metal deposits of the Verkhoyansk fold-overthrust belt formed in different geodynamic conditions are considered. The main stages of deposit formation are outlined based on the geological-structural and mineralogical-geochemical data.
The evolution of the types of gold-quartz mineralization at the accretionary stage of the region's development is shown: from stratified metamorphogenic in the rock fall zones to vein-vein deposits of mineralized crush zones. For each type of mineralization data on the position in the regional structures, vertical mineralogical and geochemical zoning and physical and chemical parameters, geochemistry of stable and radiogenic isotopes, etc. are given. The system of factors determining the formation of each type of mineralization and their use to assess the industrial-resource potential of the region is proposed.
