The paper highlights the location of precious metal deposits within the Russian Federation planned for federally funded exploration within Russia and its subjects during 2003–2024, as well as its funding dynamics; it also presents resources approved as a result of exploration and shows federally funded exploration areas for the near term. The conclusion is validated that supporting gold production at the current level in the mid- to long-term requires both enhanc- ing prospecting activities and launching federally funded forecasting-mineragenetic works to localize promising areas containing potential resources.

Key words: exploration, precious metals, federal budget, funding amounts, Russian subjects, resources.

The paper addresses the issues of qualitative improvement of information systems which support subsurface use, monitoring, and control of the Russian mineral base through the development of information technologies. Based on material processing, contained in the registration cards of geological studies, in which the main geological study data are summarized, a model of an interactive study map is proposed. The proposed interactive map of verified materials pro- vides a great opportunity for creating a catalog of works, as well as compiling specialized maps and cartograms to reflect the geological study of any given territory.

Key words: geological study of subsurface, storage of geological data, revision works, restoration of materials, GIS projects, attribute table, cartogram, interactive map of knowledge.

The deep structure of mineragenetic zones under the Spassk-Dalniy–Zerkalnaya Bay geotraverse has been derived from the integrated interpretation of seismic, density, magnetic, and geoelectric data. The studies demonstrate that geophysical methods based on different physical principles reflect various characteristics of lithosphere elements. Large sets of the obtained geophysical data provide crucial information on structural features and physical characteristics of mineragenetic objects to understand the genesis of endogenous mineralization of various types and develop new approaches to forecasting.

Key words:geophysical model, lithosphere, terrane, mineragenetic zone, mineralization, disjunctive structure.

Issues relating to the genesis and deposit formation conditions in the Norilsk region are still de- batable. At present, ore formation model in an open magmatic system is most popular. To study the actual process, the structure and composition of sulfide minerals in the Oktyabrskoye deposit central part were examined in two boreholes, RT-30 and RT-107, that reveal orebodies C-3 and C-4, respectively. Particular attention was paid to the structural patterns of disseminated ores in picritic gabbro-dolerites horizon. It has been established that sulfide inclusions are missing in the upper part of the horizon and their size and quantity gradually increase in depth, so that these inclusions grade into sulfide streaks in the lower part of the horizon. This indicates gravitational sulfide deposition in a closed magmatic system.

Key words: PGE-Cu-Ni deposits, Norilsk area, magmatism, sulfides.

The geological and tectonic settings of new primary low-grade diamond deposit, the Zarya pipe (Alakit-Markhinsky kimberlite field, Yakutian diamond province, Western Yakutia, Russia), are discussed. Data on the geological structure of the diatreme, mineral composition and kimberlite di- amond content is presented. The factors determining the vertical and lateral heterogeneity of the mineral-indicative characteristics of kimberlites, diamond assemblage minerals, and diamonds are considered. It is concluded that diamond quality and grades increase with depth.

Key words: kimberlite, mineral composition, kimberlitic indicator minerals, diamond.

The geological, petrogeochemical data, absolute age dating and information about endogenetic ore mineralization of Murzinsky intrusive massif of Altai are presented. Comparison of rock compositions and melanocratic inclusions suggests that gold potential of deep spot melting is related to hybrid melts forming as basalt and crust acidic magma mixed. Along with skarn, the ore field could host copper-gold-porphyry mineralization. Gold was supplied from acidic melting as a result of amphibolites and lower crust greywacke melting.

Key words: quartz diorites, monzodiorites, granodiorites, melanogranites, melanocratic inclusions, mantle-crust interaction, gold.

The paper presents geological and geomorphological details for the Yamalakh horst (Central Aldan region, Yakutia), which hosts the Chompolo field of barren lamprophyre in its southern part and a gold deposit in the north. The rocks resulted from Mesozoic alkaline magmatism in the Aldan shield. The horst origin relates to large-scale alkaline intrusions in post-Early Jurassic time.

Key words: lamprophyre, geomorphology, horst, intrusion, faults, digital elevation model, well logs

The paper presents a unique geodynamic evolution concept of all processes and structures ensuring carbon source formation and movement for diamond crystals growth in the mantle, and diamondiferous medium supply to the surface. Geodynamic basis for diamond formation is exogenetic source sinking in old subduction zones evolving along convection cell edges. The supply is ongoing in an advection system, with transtension combined with convection playing a key role. The paper shows periods of spatial pipe cluster location and tectonophysical pattern of this phenomenon. Based on geodynamics, the authors suggest improving a taxonomical scheme of the diamondiferous system due to its fractal structure, from a mineragenic province to a pipe cluster. Specific examples are presented to highlight major structural elements of diamondiferous taxons (systems) and their formation patterns. Debatable issues of kimberlite nature are discussed.

Key words: kimberlites, diamonds, geodynamics, convection, advection, transtension, miner- agenic province, zone, field, pipe cluster, tectonic stresses.
