There are three gold-bearing provinces on the territory of Ukraine: the Carpathian Gold-Bearing Province, the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield, and the Donbas.
The Carpathian gold-bearing province is one of the most thoroughly studied. According to preliminary estimates by experts, the total forecast resources of this territory are: gold - 400 tons, silver - 5.5 thousand tons, lead - 2.7 million tons, zinc - 5.3 million tons.
The Muzhiivske deposit and the Saulyak deposit have been explored here (the Saulyak deposit has been previously explored, reserves have been approved).
The Beregovske gold-polymetallic deposit with ores of similar composition is directly adjacent to the Muzhiivske deposit.
The gold content of the Donetsk basin has been studied for a long time, but due to the lack of thorough research, there is no unambiguous assessment of it.
The total forecast resources of Donbas are estimated at 400 tons of gold.
The Bobrykivske deposit of gold-sulfide ores, which is small in terms of reserves, has been discovered here.
The main gold-bearing province of Ukraine is the Ukrainian Crystalline Shield, within which the total resources are estimated at 2,400 tons of gold.
The six deposits that have been studied most thoroughly are Mayske, Klintsevske, Yuryevske, Sergiyevske, Balka Zolota and Balka Shyroka.
The estimated resources within them amount to over 620 tons of gold.
Based on this assessment, select the most attractive and promising objects of the Ukrainian Crystal Shield in terms of a set of characteristics to bring them to a level of preparation that is capable of providing clear information on typical issues of the largest gold mining companies in the world.
There is an urgent need to restore the operational capacity of laboratory and analytical centers, conduct experimental and industrial development, a complex of technological and semi-factory tests, as well as sufficiently long-term explanatory work to alleviate environmental and social concerns among the local population.
To increase the mineral and raw material base of platinum group ores, it is planned to create our own modern laboratory base and conduct targeted geological exploration work to detect platinum group metals in local areas and objects with an assessment of the prospects for their practical development.
