ABSTRACT

About 80% of known mineral deposits of different types in Russian Far East were formed during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Important metallogenic events are related to consecutive accretion of various tectonic-stratigraphic terranes to North Asian Craton that started in the early Mesozoic. After accretions, the craton margin and accreted terranes were stitched by granitoid batholith belts and overlapped by volcano-plutonic belts. Numerous metallogenic belts are spatially related to these magmatic belts and genetically related to the processes of accretion and subduction.
