Relation of hydrothermal mineralization with the content of some elements in the zones of discontinuities

Abstract

All the most interesting in practical terms deposits and ore occurrences within the South Slope of the Gissar Range are hydrothermal in nature and localized within the zones of rupture faults. In this connection, geochemical sampling of the material composing the zones of tectonic faults becomes extremely important, because it is obvious that the basic patterns of element introduction or removal in the faults can be used as geochemical criteria for age dissection of faults or assessment of prospects for their metalliferousness.
