DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD FOR FORECASTING THE POTENTIAL OF PLACERS BY FORMALIZING THE FACTORS OF PLACER FORMATION BASED ON LOPARITE PLACERS OF THE LOVOZERO MASSIF

Within the Northern periphery of the Lovozero massif (Kola Peninsula), the authors have identified the main formation factors of proximal (near drift) rare-metal loparite placers. They have performed the formalization (numerical evaluation) of factors; developed multiplicative indicators that reflect the placer potential of territories; and assessed the effectiveness of the developed indicators on the reference objects of the Northern periphery of the massif. The developed method allows automating the process of forecasting of placer parameters.
