The spatial and temporal relationship between petroleum and ore deposits has attracted the attention of scientists since the 1960s, when a connection was determined between oil-gas formation processes and ore-forming processes, which led to the formation of Pb-Zn Mississippi-type deposits, Carlin-type gold deposits, and stratiform copper deposits. These studies concluded that there is a paragenetic relationship between petroleum fluids and ore mineralization. To date, studies concerning the relationship between se...

Hydrothermal processes, particularly hydrothermal eruptions, play a key role in forming epithermal gold-silver deposits. Such deposits, first described by White [1] and Lloyd [2], are found in both active and ancient hydrothermal systems [3]. These processes are linked to geothermal systems, volcanic activity, and fluid circulation, but their exact mechanisms and influence on metal concentration remain debated. This study examines the role of hydrothermal eruptions and key factors (temperature, boiling, chemical c...

The aim of this study is to determine the prospects of the region for the identification of new objects. For this purpose, it was necessary to solve the tasks of analyzing and summarizing all available geological data on the Torgai trough and based on this, to make forecast maps and determine the prospects for identifying deposits. Analysis of extensive factual data and outcomes of the sedimentary cover minerals was followed by interpretation of sections at the basic outcrops and wells. All this work resulted in c...
