CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERMEDIATE SULFIDATION IN THE BEKTAKARI–BNELIKHEVI ORE KNOT BASED ON COMPOSITIONAL ANALYSIS

The conducted research demonstrates one of the strongest applications of EDS - its ability to produce elemental maps that reveal the spatial distribution of specific elements within a sample. The combination of these methods provides detailed, high-resolution information regarding both surface morphology and elemental composition, which is crucial for the thorough characterization of a given geological object. We also performed studies using BSE and SE methodologies. Spatial Analysis of Samples (EDX – Energy Dispersive X-ray Spect-roscopy), Quantitative Titanium Analysis in Quartz, Quantitative Fe Content Analysis in Sphalerite, and Phalorite Thermometry. These studies, in combination, provide a comp-rehensive understanding of the origin, stability, and spatial-chemical properties of minerals, which is critical for the in-depth interpretation of geological processes.
