Aleksandrov O. Geological structure and gold-bearing potentiality of the Olkhovatsko-Volyntsevs'ka anticline in the global structure of Donetsk fold area

The thesis is devoted to enchancement of knowledge regarding the geological structure of the Olhovatsko-Volyntsivska anticline and Donetsk Fold Area in general, and to identify regularities of gold mineralization distribution within the area of research. Author defined the position of conical trans-crust faults (frame elements of the circular structures) on all of DSS sections existing within the Donetsk Fold Area. Based on the research of intrusive activity indirect signs set the position of latent intrusive bodies in the sedimentary strata of the central part of the Donetsk Fold Area is discovered. Also detailed geological structure of the crestal plane of the Olhovatsko-Volyntsivska anticline is defined as a result of numerous outcrops observation. The regularities of gold mineralization distribution within the Olhovatsko-Volyntsivska anticline are defined and recommendations for prospecting of gold mineralization are listed.
