LATERAL DISTRIBUTION OF MOLYBDENUM, GOLD AND SILVER WITHIN THE VERBYNSKE ORE OCCURRENCE (VOLYN MEGABLOCK)

Brief information on the ore content of the Verbynske molybdenum ore occurrence, which is located within the Ustynivsky massif of the Volyn megablock of the Ukrainian Shield, is presented. Molybdenum mineralization is localized in granite porphyries, medium-grained biotite granites of the Verbinsky type and products of their metasomatic changes (quartz-muscovite and quartz-biotite graysens). The main ore mineral is molybdenite, which forms vein-disseminated, finely scattered, and rarely nested mineralization with a molybdenum concentration of up to 5-10%. The mineralization belongs to the molybdenum ore formation of hydrothermal-greyzen and linear-stockwork geological and industrial type. Based on the attribute database (well coordinates, description and testing of wells), we studied the lateral distribution of the average molybdenum, silver and gold content within the Verbynske molybdenum ore occurrence and created the corresponding maps.
