Summary

In this book some of the major granite provinces of Russia are covered, e.g., Kola-Karelia, Urals, Northern Caucasus, Transbaikalia, Kuznetsk Alatau, Tuva, Sakha-Yakutia, Yana-Kolyma, as well as those of adjoining regions, such as the Pamirs of Tajikistan, the Tien Shan of Kyrghyzstan, for Kazakhstan the Kokchetav massif and Central Kazakhstan, and Mongolia. The paleo-geodynamic setting of the granite series is outlined for each province. Geological, geophysical, petrological, geochemical, and isotopic features of ore-bearing granitoids and associated mineralizations (W, Mo, Sn, Cu, Au; Ta, Nb, Li, Rb, Cs, Be, REEs, Bi, Zr) are given.

The classification principles of genetic and economic features of the granite-related ore deposits are discussed. The location and distribution controls of these deposits are illustrated by an original schematic map. A brief description for more than one hundred major granite-related ore deposits of the former Soviet Union is given, including economic data on ore resources, mining production, uses, and applications. A larger part of the papers deals with various aspects of the evolution of granite-related ore-producing magmatic systems, as well as the anatomy and magmatic-hydrothermal mechanisms of ore deposition.

A technique for 3-d modeling of ore-bearing granitoid bodies down to a depth of 10 to 15 km is presented. Current data on geochemistry and isotopes (Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr) are given which help to clarify the role of crustal and mantle components in the formation of rare metal ore deposits, along with new experimental information on K, F, Cl, and other chemical parameters controlling the ore potential of silicic melt systems. New experimental data are presented on permeability of granitic rocks and on physico-chemical controls in the development of major types of metasomatic alteration. This volume provides a first and hitherto unavailable overview of the geology and metallogeny of granite-related rare-metal deposits of Russia and adjacent countries. It is of interest to the mining community and all geoscientists, especially economic geologists, petrologists, and mineralogists.
