DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS OF MAJOR AND ASSOCIATED ELEMENTS IN ORES OF THE SHARYKTY MINERAL OCCURRENCE

This study investigates the distribution patterns of primary and accessory elements within the mineralized zones of the Sharykty ore occurrence. Mineralogical and geochemical studies have established the localization features of ore components and their relationship with tectonic faults and hydrothermal-metasomatic rock alterations. The primary elements are mainly represented by copper, lead, and zinc, while the accessory elements include silver, cadmium, arsenic, and antimony. Analysis of the elemental distribution revealed a zoned mineralization structure, reflecting the multistage nature of ore formation. The results obtained are significant for assessing ore-bearing potential and for guiding further geological exploration.
