The laboratory studies geodynamic, geotectonic and geological factors affecting the location of endogenic mineralization, identification of its new geological-genetic types, and improving prediction and assessment of mineral resources in the East Asia.

The investigations are carried out in the following directions:

  • geodynamic, geotectonic and geological factors affecting the location of endogenic mineralization;
  • mineral and geochemical features of mineragenic, geological and morphological types of mineralization and its zoning;
  • isotopic-geochemical characteristics of vein and ore minerals from different genetic types deposits;
  • composition features of native and minor elements in placer and ore systems of the East Asia;
  • search and valuation criteria of gold, silver and platinum mineralization;
  • reveal of new geological genetic and commercial types of mineralization;
  • improving methods of prediction and assessment of different types of mineralization, using Earth's remote sensing technologies.
