Ecological Systems and Devices Annotation << Back IDENTIFICATION OF CORE DEPOSITS AS A GEO-ECOLOGICAL PROJECTS Yu.P. Galchenko Deposits of vein type play an important role in ensuring Russia’s most important color, noble and radioactive metals. This value will remain in the perspective period, despite fairly intensive recess reserves and increasing the development of depth. The main factors determining the specifi city of the environmental consequences of development of deposits of geological type, is their multiplicity and fragmentation of small capacity and a large number of ore bodies, a considerable distance from major highways, as well as the nature of the processes of formation of technogenic changed subsoil in the form of discrete systems of several simultaneously or sequentially forming local elements, each of which has its own structure. Study the nature of environmental consequences of man-made changes in the lithosphere in a vein deposits showed that as the strength and deformation anisotropy of ore and rock mass of the state value of the index decreases logarithmically, and the curve of changes in the density of the index crosses the horizontal axis at the point, the position of which corresponds to a dislocation the outer limit of the geophysical ecotone, and therefore – and the site of subsurface technologically modified as a whole. The result of this development the bowels of man-made process changes the whole system is quite diverse technological factors disturbing the balance in all geospheres environment. The overall structure of the system is determined by the geological structure of the deposit and the way of their development, and the quantitative value of each environmental factor - depending on the applied geotechnology.
