The Characteristics of the Geophysical Fields of the Pavlik Gold Ore Deposit (Yana–Kolyma Metallogenic Belt)

This paper reports the results of analysis of the geophysical fields of a gold deposit and reveals some of their typical features. The range of geophysical studies and data processing techniques for solving the problems of gold mineralization forecast within the Yana–Kolyma Metallogenic Belt is described. Based on the interpretation of the geophysical dataset, the geological and geophysical indicators of gold mineralization are proposed in the following hierarchical sequence: ore cluster–ore field–mineralized zone–ore body. One of the main interpretation techniques for determining the prospecting indicators of potential ore bodies (or high-grade intervals) is the study of induced polarization frequency responses.
