This guidebook was prepared for the Interim IAGOD Conference on Metallogeny of the Pacific Northwest: Tectonics, Magmatism and Metallogeny of Active Continental Margins, which took place in September of 2004 in Vladivostok, the southernmost port of the Russian Far East. The book describes the geology of a number of important ore districts and deposits in the region. These are the major deposits of fluorine (Voznesenka), boron (Dalnegorsk), tungsten (Vostok-2), platinum (Konder), gold (Pokrovka), and some smaller deposits of tin, lead, zinc, and other metals.
The guidebook also includes a description of South Kamchatka which is an example of young magmatism and modern ore formation. The chapters devoted to the Okhotsk-Kolyma Province address granitoid magmatism of different geodynamic and geochemical types and related ore mineralization.
This book will be of interest to specialists in regional and economic geology, geodynamics metallogeny, and ore deposits modelling.
