As a partner of GSEU, the Ukrainian Association of Geologists within the framework of the tasks of Work Package 8 disseminates information regarding some published news and scientific articles in Ukraine on the main thematic areas of the project
Copper is one of the critical metals for the industry of Ukraine. More than 150 copper ore occurrences of various genetic types on the territory of Ukraine are known. One of the most interesting is the occurrences of native copper formation in the Riphean trappean formations of the Volyn copper ore district. To determine the degree of investment attractiveness of copper ore occurrences, an objective assessment of the resource base of the copper ore district is necessary.
The analysis of the results of prospecting and economic assessment within the ore occurrences of the Volyn copper ore region were conducted: data on wells were reviewed, promising intervals were selected, areas were specified and copper ore resources were recalculated. A recalculation of the resource potential of the Volyn copper ore region for three metallogenic areas: Volynsk, Kuhotsk-Volsk and Manevytsk was carried out. It was shown that their previous economic assessment during the exploration and assessment studies was overestimated by an order of magnitude.
