| Summary: | A large number of gold deposits are concentrated in the Russian part of the Amur river basin. Gold units are characterized by various formation conditions, and, due to this, by a variety of structural factors, as well as stability of rock masses. Structural features, qualities and properties of ore-bearing rocks determine the specifics of choosing mining systems for the units. Geological and geomechanical data obtained in the course of exploration and exploitation of objects allowed us to identify groups of deposits with similar genetic conditions and form common features of their development through the development of appropriate models. There are five major groups of gold deposits. They are represented by deposits formed in epiplatform conditions of young volcanism, in intrusive-tectonic and intrusive-dome structures of Cretaceous age, in metamorphic domes, as well as in tectonic wedges. The selected groups of deposits are localized in masses with different rock stability. In accordance with these features, we developed structural and geomechanical models of gold deposits in the Amur region. The models are used for correcting the methodology of studying deposits and justifying rational methods of their development.
