Abstract
The article presents a study of tungsten skarn deposits based on a comprehensive analysis of geological and geochemical data. The research is based on information obtained from drilling and core analysis, photographs, and geochemical surveys. The results identified three main areas of the deposit – Eastern, Central, and Western – with differences in the distribution of ore bodies and mineralization. The main ore body extends over a significant area and contains a substantial proportion of tungsten resources. Mineralized deposits below the main ore body are characterized by varying rock compositions and contain a significant number of ore bodies, including large frameworks. The application of geochemical studies plays a crucial role in understanding geological structures and the formation of mineral deposits. Geochemical data provide information on the composition of rocks, the distribution of elements, and the nature of processes occurring in the Earth's crust. They help establish chemical relationships between different rocks and their minerals, as well as reveal connections with geological structures. The analysis of geochemical data identified correlations between the content of valuable elements and rock lithotypes, aiding in a better understanding of the geological structure of the deposit. Special attention was given to the relationship between zirconium and limestones, identified through geochemical data analysis. The proposed analysis method offers new perspectives for understanding the formation of skarn deposits and developing mining strategies. The study's results represent an important contribution to mining geology and can be used to optimize the exploitation of tungsten skarn deposits.
