PETROGRAPHY AND ORE POTENTIAL OF THE BOKALI INTRUSION (NORTHERN BUKANTAU)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article summarizes the petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical features of the Bokali granitoid intrusion situated within the Northern Bukantau structural-formational zone (Central Kyzylkum, Uzbekistan). Four intrusive phases were distinguished, from quartz diorite to fine-grained trondhjemite, plagiogranite and aplitic granite, with a four-impulse dyke complex. The hypabyssal level is confirmed by widespread hornfels development, the absence of potassic metasomatism and high magnetic susceptibility. ICP-MS analysis of 116 samples revealed a strongly contrasting geochemical field: Cu up to 3062 g/t, Mo up to 536 g/t, W up to 249 g/t and Au up to 0.104 g/t. The most reliable productive association is Cu-Mo-Au-As, whereas Mo-W-Re characterizes the high-temperature intrusive-contact stage. The deep, unoxidized stockwork zones of the south-western exocontact are identified as a priority exploration target.
