METHOD OF DETERMINATION OF TYPE OF HYDROTHERMAL MINERALIZATION Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: mineralogy. SUBSTANCE: invention is related to practice of mineralog-geochemical search and evaluation of formation identity of hydrothermal mineralization of areas of continental volcanism at early stages of search and assessment operations. In compliance with method geochemical samples are taken as well as monomineral samples of fluorite from surfaces of bedrock or from underground headings and from cores of boreholes within limits of geochemical or radio geochemical anomalies. Content of anionogenic components F-B-F-B-CO₂, is found in geochemical samples, content of paramagnetic centers O-2

,Gd³⁺,Mn²⁺,O32, Q, Z is determined in monomineral samples. Type of hydrothermal mineralization is judged by appearance of concentrations of paramagnetic centers in monomineral samples of fluorite and by value of relation of product of percentage abundance of concentrations of anionogenic components to carbon dioxide in geochemical samples. EFFECT: enhanced authenticity of method. 7 cl, 1 tbl
