Toxic element distribution analysis in tailing technozems of the lead-zinc deposits in Eastern Transbaikalia

An analysis of chemical element distribution in technozems of tailing dumps of the lead-zinc deposits of Eastern Transbaikalia is carried out. The potential toxicity of tailing mine technozems was calculated. A comparative analysis of the toxic element concentrations in the technozems of the lead-zinc deposit tailing dumps has revealed significant differences in the concentrations of toxic elements. It was found that the highest concentrations of toxic elements of the first class of hazard (As, Pb, Zn, and Cd) are characterized by the technozems of the Blagodatsky Deposit, while the lowest concentrations by those of the Khapcheranginsky Deposit. It has been established that the greatest ecological hazard is posed by the tailing dump of the Blagodatsky lead-zinc deposit, whereas a significantly smaller one by tailing dumps of the Khapcheranginsky and Novo-Shirokinsky deposits.

К вопросу о рудных формациях благородных и цветных металлов Омолонского террейна (Cеверо-Восток Азии)

The author characterizes gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc deposits developed within the Omolon craton terrane. Outlined are ore formations (genetic types) including the deposits. The principal features of the terrane metallogeny terrane are shown as determined by the stable structure of the crystalline basement, consolidated in Early Precambrian, which resulted in contraction of the range of mineralization genetic types and in formation of deep ore- and magma-controlling faults and large deposits.
