1. 亙ntroduction

  Recently,Mongolia has come to the atten-

tion of mining geologists by her politicaI

change(e.g.,Dorian,1991)but the geological

information on Mongolia presented in public is

Ilot enough。 Thus the authors will give a brief

summary about geology of Mbngolia and intro-

duce the mineralization of“Kherlen Depression”

which is one of the target for the ITIT project

of MITL

2.Geology of Mongolia

  Mongolia is situated in the center of Asian

continent. Geologically,it is sandwitched by

the Siberian platform in north and Sino-

Korean massif in south,εしnd is roughly devided

into two“large blocks’7by the“Ural-Mongo-

lian Lineament”which is the largest overthrust

fault in.the country(Fig.1).

  *Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources,

   Mongolia

 **Mineral Resources Department

  2.1The North:Large Block

  This block occupies large area of the nation

and is composed of two folded systems:

“North Mongolian”and“Ulaanbaatar”Folded

Systems(Fig.2and Table1).

  The North Mongolian Folded System is of

Caledonian orogeny and is composed of“Cen-

tral Mongolian Median Mass”.,“Nuur-Altai

Megazone”,“Shishkhid-Zedin Megazone”and

“Khangai-Khentiin Megazone”.The Central

Mongolian Median Mass,occupying the central

part of the North Mongolian Folded System,

consists of polymetamorphic folded stratum of

upper Archean to lower Proterozoic age and

those of Precambrian to early Cambrian age.

The Nuur-Altai Megazone is widely developed

in the west of the Central Mongolian Median

M&ss.This megazone includes“Nuuriin”and“Altai(or Mongol-Altai)”folded belts.The

Nuuriin folded belt consists of ophiolite com-

plex (upper Riphean),spilite,keratophyre,

carbonate rocks and terrigenous se(iimentary

rocks (upper Riphean to lower Cambrian),

carbonate and volcanic formation (lower

Cambrian)and tuff and terrigenous sedi-

mentary rocks(lower to middle Cambrian)。

The Altai Folded Belt is composed of middle to

upper Cambrian flysh.The Shishkhid-Zediin

megazone is of Caledonian orogeny and is

distributed north of the Central Mongolian

Median Mass,(Tes,Shishkhid,Eg and Uuriin

basins),andalsointheeasternsideoftheKhovsgol sea. The structure and geolog・ic

history are similar to those of the Nuuriin

Folded Belt of the Nuur-Altai Megazone.

Khangai-Khentiin Megazone of Caledonianorogeny is situate(l north-east of the Central

Mongolian Median Mass and is composed of

seven folded belts:“Tariat-Darkhan”,“Bayαn-

khongor”,“Adaatsag”,“South Khentii-Onon”

“Kherlen’ラ, “North Kherlen’ラ and ‘‘Zag-Khara-

agiin” Folde(l Belts。 The Zag-Kharεしagiin is

locate(i in the central part of the Khangai-

Khentiin Megazone.Ophiolite formations with

overthrust an(l thrust structures are observed

at Bayαnkhongor,Adaatsag and Kherlen foldedBelts.

  Ulaanbaatar Folded System is of Variscan

orogeny and is subdivided into some smaller

units such as Tsetserleg Folded Belt,Ula、anba-

atar Folded Belt and Dochiin gol Depression.

But the system is not well understood yet.In

the Dochiin gol Depression,Permian to lower

Triassic sediments are distributed.

  2.2TheSouthLargeBlock  The South Large Block covers.the entire re-

gion of the Govi area an(1generally has linear

structures.Two folded systems, “South

Mongolian”(Variscan)and“lnner Mongolian”

(la、te Variscan),have been recognized in this

block but the(ietail of the geology has not been

well un(lerstood yet. These two folded

systems accompany smaller uplifted bodies of

Caledonian time.

  The South Mongolian Folded System is

elongated from the west (Baruun-KhurainDepression)to the east(Kh&1khiin gol of the

country and is divided into the following

folded belts:“Khovd-Baruun-Urt”,“Edren”,

“Asgat(or Khalzan)”,“Goviin(or Govi)”,and

“Govi-Tjanshan-Uul-Nukhet-davaa”belts。 In

  The Khangai-Khentiin Megazone of the

North Mongolian Folded System includes the

“Kherlen”Depression whi¢h is bounded by the

Onon,Kherlen and Barkh fαults,an(l has the

area of ca.130km by10-20km(Figs.1and4).

The depression exhibits synclinorium with NE-

trending fold axes,and is composed of the

following geologic bodies l metamorphic rocks

of upPer Proterozoic age,terrigenous and,vo1-

canic rocks of lower Cambrian age,gabbro and

granitoids of lower Paleozoic age,terrigenous

ages, an(1 granitoi(is of upper paleozoic to

Mesozoic ages.The Devonian terrigenous sedi-

mentary unit is called“Kherlen Group”and

contains clayey schists, siltstone, san(istone

(Fig.5),(iiabase,gabbro an(1且ne-grained green

rocks of intermediate composition.These green

rocks are deformed.Into the Kherlen Group,

1ate Paleozoic and Mesozoic granitoids have

been intruded.The former is called‘‘Tsenkher

gol complex”,while the latter is designated

“Bor-Ondor complex”.The Tsenkher gol com-

plex is mainly distributed at the marginal area

of the depression and is composed of coarse to

mediUm-grained granOdiOrite and mediUm-gra、ine(l biotite granite (Figs.6 and 7). The

Mesozoic granites ocωr along faults and are

mainly classified into late Triassic to early

Jurassic alkali granite an(l early to mi(ldle

Jurassic leucogranite. No petrochemica1 (iata

nor radiometric-age data have been known for

these granitoi(is but for one chemical analysis

of the sample from the Ondor-tsagaan mine

(Table3).

4.ConcluαingRemarks

  In Mongolia,two largb blocks are recognized.

These large blocks consist of several fol(1ed

systems.Each of them is subdivided intosome megazones and folded belts。Most of the

tectonic units have至!0t been well researched.

One of the tectonic ullits, Khangai-Khentii

megazone includes the Kherlen Depression which

is an expected area for mining.

  In the Kherlen Depression,intense mineraliza-

tions of various kinds of useful metals are

モンゴル国の地質区分の概要

T.ツェデン ・ 村尾 智 ・ D.ドルジゴトフ

要  旨

 モンゴル国の地質区分にっいて概説した.同国は基本的にウラルーモンゴリアリニアメントによって

北ラージブロックと南ラージブロックに区分され,これらはさらに小さな地質単位(folded system,

megazone,median mass,folded belt)に分けられる,しかし各単位は経験的に設定されており定

義があいまいである.また,各単位の相互関係のほとんどは不明である,北ラージブロック内の

:Khangai-khentiinMegazoneにはKherlenDepressionと呼ばれる陥没地域があり,Au,Ag,

Pb,Zn,Moなどの金属鉱化作用がみられる.本地域はITITプロジェクトの対象区域であり,1991

年度の成果として,オンドルッァガンおよびモンゴンオンドル鉱床は174-175Maの生成である事が

明らかになっている.他の鉱床の詳細は不明である.
