Abstract

Analysis of geological and isotope-geochronological data on the Sayan-Baikal-Muya belt has shown that subduction and the subsequent collision of microcontinents with island arc were essential in the Neoproterozoic-Early Paleozoic. They influenced the formation, localization, and preservation of gold mineralization in ophiolite belts and the formation of ore clusters with diverse types of precious-metal deposits and mineralization: gold-PGE, in blueschist rocks; high-temperature (>400
