Geological and geophysical interpretation of induced-polarization data on gold depoits in the Yana-Kolyma orogenic belt

This paper presents induced-polarization (IP) data on a number of gold deposits and occurrences in the Magadan Region. Geophysical works are effective for the study of gold-quartz deposits of different morphological types (vein, veinlet-vein, and veinlet-disseminated). It is shown that multifrequency IP sounding reliably identifies zones of carbon metasomatism, a reliable indicator of promising gold mineralization areas and zones in northeastern Russia. Evidence of carbon metasomatism is the typical shape of phase frequency response curves for graphite and graphitized rocks.
