Some aspects of localization of precious metal mineralization in the Lower Permian conglomerates within the North-Eastern part of the o-40-XXIX sheet (Shalinskaya ploshad)

Abstract

"Metal-bearing" conglomerates are known in various regions of the world. They are associated with ore occurrences and industrial deposits of gold, uranium, silver, iron, copper and other minerals. At the junction of the Western marginal part of the West Ural folding zone with the pre-Ural regional trough, rocks were recorded, during petrographic and mineralogical studies of which it was possible to establish direct (signs of gold) and indirect signs of gold localization in the lower Permian polymictic conglomerates and in the eluvial weathering crusts formed along them.
