Diapirs and their Role in the Localization of Mineralization

In the local and foreign literature on the structures of ore fields and deposits, there are very rarely examples of localization, of endogenic ores in diapiric structures. However, the role of the latter as ore-enclosing structures is, in our opinion, more significant than has been accepted at the present time. We are convinced of this from appropriate observations and an analysis of the literature data on the geology of ore fields and deposits.© 1976 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
