Use of Remote Sensing to Find a Localization Pattern of Gold Mineralization in the Central Part of the Ayan-Yuryakh Anticlinorium, Magadan Oblast

Criteria for the localization of gold deposits within the Ayan–Yuryakh anticlinorium in Magadan oblast have been developed using processed satellite imagery data and the analysis of geological and geophysical materials. The structural elements are linear, arc, ring, and concentric lineaments of the first (11–35 km), second (5–10 km), and third (less than 5 km) rank. The ring structures of the second and third rank form linear chains confined to the hidden linear structures of the northwest and north-northeast strike. Gold deposits occur in the central or peripheral parts of the ring structures of the second rank at the intersections of the latter with regional sublatitudinal faults. The area of ​​the Pavlik deposit has a block structure, due to the dominant faults of the northwestern strike, complicated by faults of the northeastern and meridional strike, as well as arc structural elements. When predicting prospective ore areas, the localization patterns of gold ore, determined by the results of gravimetric and gamma surveys, should be taken into account.
