Abstract
<jats:p>The monograph is devoted to the development of criteria for the predictive assessment of territories for various types of minerals, as well as to the methods of predictive metallogenic studies. The work proposes a geological and evolutionary approach for solving the problems of metallogenic analysis of territories, which is based on the development of a geological and evolutionary model of endogenous ore genesis based on paleogeodynamic reconstructions. To construct a geological and evolutionary model, a number of reference geoblocks were selected (the Anabar Shield, the Eastern Sayan, the Baikal-Patom Arc region, the Aldan Shield, and the territory of Primorye), and data from other regions were also used, along with literature materials. The proposed model is based on paleogeodynamic reconstructions based on the concept of the staged formation of the continental Earth's crust, which allows for the identification of the conditions for the transformation of Earth's matter at each stage of the formation of the continental crust. The creation of a geological and evolutionary model of endogenous ore genesis, taking into account the diversity of specific geological environments, makes it possible to establish general patterns of geological evolution, identify the main prerequisites and factors of ore formation, and create methodological foundations for a comprehensive predictive assessment of the ore-bearing potential of crustal blocks with complex metallogeny.</jats:p>
