Abstract
For the first time, an approach was applied to the processing of Earth remote sensing data for the territory of the northern end of the eastern slope of the Polar Urals. An approach is based the integration of maps of the distribution of hydrothermal alterations and the lineament density scheme, created on the basis of the results of statistical processing of remote sensing data and the digital elevation model Aster GDEM (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global Digital Elevation Model). The work was carried out with the aim of identifying morphological features and patterns, features of the deep structure and identifying areas promising for the gold type of mineralization in the study area. As a result of the study, two new perspective areas were delineated and new predictive and prospecting features of gold mineralization were identified within the study area: (1) areas promising for the gold ore type of mineralization should be sought along transregional fault zones that intersect favorable horizons and structures and control ore mineralization, and along the periphery of a large (97 by 76 km) bowl-shaped heterogenic-plutonic structure of the 1st order of complex structure and long-term development, developed above intracrustal magma chambers; (2) morphostructure should be complicated by ring and arc structures of the 2nd and lower order, as well as discontinuous faults of NW and NE directions with a length of more than 10 km, or weakened zones along which the introduction of intrusive bodies is recorded, genetically related to mineralization; (3) potentially ore-bearing volcanic structures should exhibit metasomatic halos of a significant area (more than 30 km2) with increased indices of ferric iron oxides (hematite) and iron oxides and hydroxides (limonite) and, to a lesser extent, hydroxyl-(Al-OH, Mg -OH), carbonate-containing minerals and oxides and oxides of ferrous iron.
