The conclusions’ reliability of the geologists who created the largest uranium ore base in the country on the territory of the Streltsovsky ore field (SRP) in South-Eastern Transbaikalia, about the belonging of spatially isolated phosphate mineralization and powerful industrial mineralization to a single final stage of Late Mesozoic tectonomagmatitic activation, is clarified. The relevance of the research lies in the need to study the geological materials on the SRP and the adjacent area to assess the prospects for involving in the exploitation of phosphate mineralization developed on the flanks of uranium deposits developed under the state program of the TOP.
The object of study is the “blind” Argunskoye and Zherlovoye deposits and their western flanks on the surface, and the subject is the phosphate mineralization developed in the block of terrigenous-carbonate rocks. The purpose of the research is to clarify the time and features of the formation of phosphates, and the task is to assess the industrial significance of phosphate mineralization to make a decision on the feasibility of additional study of this scarce raw material.
The methodology of scientific research is based on the interpretation of geological facts given in the literature and stock materials, use of concepts, terms, creation of hypotheses and their consequences, consistency of the comparison of which with the established facts determines the relatively high reliability of geological results. We used a descriptive method that takes into account a system of interrelated consistent positions, and a method of theoretical modeling, which raises the strategic goals of nature cognition to a higher scientific level. The results of the research are presented in three articles (parts). The first part contains information about the structural and geological positions of the region, the ore field, and the geological structure of the Western tectonic block of the SRP and the Argun, as well as the Vent uranium deposits. It is established that phosphate mineralization is the product of metamorphic transformations of Riphean phosphorites and igneous apatites associated with the Middle Riphean moderately alkaline peridotite-gabbro-gabbrodiorite complex. Phosphate mineralization is older than the Late Mesozoic uranium and other types of industrial mineralization by at least 1 billion years |
