Orogenic gold-quartz deposits have a clear structural control and are accompanied by wallrock metasomatic alteration. However, in detailed modeling of such deposits, there is often a mismatch between the structural plans for high-grade ore zone distribution and metasomatite zones, and the latter are not always associated with faults. This is explained by the evolution of the hydrothermal process and the pulsating nature of the development of the territory. In the early stages of the mineral deposit study, it is very important to reliably determine the distribution of ore zones, since the correct targeting of the drilling program and the economic deposit assessment depend on it. The problem can be solved using the method of X-ray computed tomography (СТ) in the core study. This paper presents the methodology of studying fullsize core samples of gold deposits by using CT. A core sample characterizing the central part of ore body of Drazhnoye deposit (Tarynskoye ore field, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)) was used as the study material. The sample studied was scanned by a SIEMENS Somatom Perspective tomograph at two energies (80 and 130 keV). As a result, a detailed three-dimensional stereological model of the core was obtained, which made it possible not only to study the distribution of ore minerals in the volume of the entire sample, but also to identify vein bodies of different ages, as well as to study their morphology and trace the distribution patterns of ore mineralization in them. Based on the study results, we can offer a preliminary interpretation of ore mineralization and vein formation sequence.

The study focuses on gold and silver accessory minerals (native silver, cuprous gold, luanheite (Ag3Hg), unspecified mineral phase (Cu,Ag,Hg), first diagnosed in dunites and apodunite serpentinites of the Kyzyr-Burlyuksky ultramafic massif, which is part of the Kurtushibin ophiolite belt of Western Sayan. The revealed ore minerals are mainly observed in the form of single hypidiomorphic, irregular microscopic precipitates (0.5– 3.0 μm) mainly inside magnetite, much less often in grains of avaruite. Typomorphic and chemical features of ore minerals, their natural setting in rock-forming silicate matrix are characterized. Formation and concentration of these accessory minerals is associated with superimposed low-temperature transformation (hydration) processes affecting original ultramafic rocks. At the same time, the presence of luanheite and an unnamed phase (Cu,Ag,Hg), along with the previously identified potarite (PdHg), is probably evidence of low-temperature conditions of mineral formation during the manifestation of epigenetic processes of serpentinization (lowgrade metamorphism) due to solutions enriched in mercury. The source of such solutions could be gabbro intrusions that penetrated later into the main ultramafic body.

This paper describes the tectonic features of the Alakit-Markha kimberlite field, regional factors of kimberlite magmatism control in this area, structural and tectonic preconditions for kimberlite pipe prospecting. The paper highlights kimberlite pipe formation features and the role of tectonics in this process. The most promising areas are those related to low-amplitude negative structures (e.g. depressions), especially transverse low-amplitude complications of the opposite sign for the main plicative structure: for antiforms (elevations), these are saddle-shaped depressions, and antiform elevations are for synforms (depressions).

The porphyry kimberlite block (intrusive coherent kimberlite, after Scott-Smith, 2013) on the deep horizons of the Internationalnaya pipe is characterized by the lack of olivine macrocryst serpentinization, and the minimum degree of postmagmatic alteration in the matrix minerals. Garnet keliphitization and the composition of olivine and phlogopite outer zones are due to the interaction of deep minerals and the surrounding kimberlite melt at depth. The rapid melt crystallization contributed to the heterogeneous magma structure represented by the macrocryst (porphyry) and aphyric schlieren.

Paleomagnetic pipe rock properties and sieve diamond characteristics are discussed. To determine paleomagnetic characteristics, 59 samples (41 kimberlites and 18 xenotuff breccias) were taken from pipe rocks in 2019- 2020. Based on analysis results and the obtained data comparison, reasons of magnetic anomaly epicenter shift are validated and polyphase nature of Grib pipe formation is proved. The results suggest complex pipe structure with abnormally magnetized kimberlites. They could be the main anomaly, a focus of early prospecting, which resulted in the pipe discovery. Their location, mostly in the central and eastern pipe combined with primarily east-trending residual magnetization, can account for the eastward anomaly shift and partly beyond the pipe contour. Polyphase pipe nature is also confirmed by various sieve characteristics of diamonds from the orebody.

IR spectroscopy was used to compare diamonds from 12 pipes, Arkhangelsk region. Based on positive correlation between average N and H values in diamonds from various deposits, it was found that crystals from low-grade diamond pipes are relatively enriched in hydrogen compared with diamonds from Lomonosov and Grib deposits. In terms of structural impurity distribution, Arkhangelsk deposit diamonds differ from Yakutian diamonds; it could be due to various composition of compared diamonds’ source matter and thermodynamic conditions of their growth. It is shown that hydrogen is a negative factor of diamond potential in both Yakutian and Arkhangelsk diamonds. This can partly be explained by impuri-ty blocking effect on diamond crystal growth.

Drag folds were revealed in Lower Paleozoic sedimentary strata of Mirny, Nakyn and Syuldyukar diamondiferous fields, West Yakutia. They consist of minor anticlinal forms (3-5 to 15-20 cm thick) and cut marl, clayey limestone and dolomite bands located between monolith seams of carbonate rocks. Some folds as monocline, flexures and S- or Z-shaped folds reflect the degree of shearrelated interlayer offset. Drag folds are among shear zone occurrences including microfaults, slickensides with slip groove horizontal planes, and schistosity zones. Drag folds reflect local extension points while schistosity zones indicate compression points. For Syuldyukar field, detailed mapping results for drag folds and schistosity zones are provided at 3 scales: across 20 × 20 m observation grid within a local 2 km2 site; across 200 × 200 m grid within 20 km2 area; across 500 × 500 m grid within ~100 km2 territory. For all scales, drag fold halos are restricted to schistosity zones. Within a local site adjacent to kimberlites, drag folds mark ore-hosting fault controlling long axes of kimberlite areal projections. Within large areas, drag fold halos are 1,2-2 km, which compares with kimberlite group areal parameters. Drag fold halos reflect shear junctions, with some of them hosting kimberlites. Local occurrences of drag folds mark a major shear hosting a kimberlite body. Drag fold analysis combined with other evidence should be used as an indirect prospecting indicator of concealed shears and local extension areas controlling kimberlites.

Based on the completed research and data summary on diamonds specific features (an example from the Siberian platform), conclusions were made that indications exist at all levels of their location: from kimberlite-related provinces, subprovinces, fields, diatremes to ore shoots. Population of diamond varieties in kimberlite rocks forms parasteric, rather than paragenetic, associations related to their coexistence in kimberlites. Morphological criteria of kimberlite diamond potential were defined depending on rounded diamonds content in them. Significant differences in kimberlites diamond potential were not revealed to the explored depth of diatremes. A conclusion about the absence of horizontal concentric zonality in the change of diamond typomorphic features was made.
