SEARCH-ORIENTED GEOLOGICALGENETIC MODEL OF TIN PLACERS OF “TECTONIC TERRACES” OF THE ARCTIC ZONE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Tin is referred to a strategic group of metals, so Russia needs to renew its own tin production. Development of alluvial deposits is the most profi table. Russian reserves of alluvial tin are almost entirely concentrated in the eastern sector of the Arctic, more than half of them is in the placers of tectonic terrace zones. Creation of search-oriented model of alluvial deposits of this type will contribute to renewal of tin mining industry in Russia.
