Abstract
We investigate cratonic terranes in northeastern Russia which have very high mineral potential but remain poorly explored or not explored at all. The suggested synthesis of the available data from an underexplored but exceptionally rich province provides evidence of high metallogenic prospects of cratonic terranes and their surroundings in northeastern Russia as well as in other regions. Especially good prospects are expected for gold mineralization, which shows continuous development from Precambrian to Cenozoic structures of northeastern Russia.
