Ore-geochemical zonation of endogenous mineral deposits as a consequence of the occurrence, periodic order, and thermodynamic properties of elements

In the article, the results of investigation of ore-geochemical zonation of endogenous deposits of the Northeast of Russia are presented. It was found that the spatiotemporal zonation of polygenic and polychronous deposits might be generated according the rule of the forward or inverse stage zoning, and is governed by the distribution of chemical element in the Sun, chondrites, and Earth's crust. The order of elements in a zoning se­quence remains similar at ore composition and impurities in ore and minerals. Based on determination of secondary series of zoning into the empirically found generalized se­ries for deposit, direct and inverse problems of the presence or absence of superimposed processes of mineralization can be solved, as well as contribution of different sources of metals can be revealed.
