The paper considers the structural and tectonic position of the mineralisation in the case of the Achisai ore district. Formation of lead and zinc ores at the Achisai deposit was conditioned by regeneration of stratified ore clusters as a result of tectonic or tectonic-magmatic activation. Therefore, the structural-tectonic control of mineralisation of the Achisai type is one of the cardinal ones, along with the lithologic-stratigraphic one. The lead and zinc mineralisation is confined to side parts of synclines, ...

A large group of commercial minerals known as ?industrial minerals? is used worldwide. Industrial minerals are understood as useful mineral deposits, i.e. all minerals extracted from the earth, except for energy raw materials, metals, water and gemstones, and used for industrial purposes owing to their physical, chemical and mechanical properties. The geological structure of the continental eastern Fennoscandian Shield (Karelian Region), the basement of the East European Platform, is controlled by its long geologi...
