2 IAGOD Newsletter 2008
This newsletter is being sent out in digital form. Hard copy will be sent, by request, to some of our national groups. 2008 was not an easy year for the association – we have lost many of our active members. But, it was also quite memorable because of multiple activities, particularly – the ones connected with the 33rd International Geological Congress in Oslo, where, along with the IAGOD General Assembly, many sessions were organized under the umbrella of IAGOD. The full reports on these and other events can be found in this newsletter. In the following pages are details of future IAGOD events. As always, we on IAGOD Council look forward to meeting many of our members during the coming year.
General 2008 Report of the International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits (IAGOD) Mission Research into the origin of ore deposits lies at the cornerstone of many sub-disciplines in the geological sciences. The number of methods that can be successfully applied to understand the processes involved in the generation, localization and preservation of economic concentrations of ore minerals continues to grow. High levels of expertise in mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry and structural geology are increasingly needed by those who wish to understand ores. Whatever part of the world one lives in, the economic importance of mineral exploitation is evident, even though dramatic structural changes in the mining industry have occurred in the past two decades, leaving large parts of the industrialized world without a significant domestic metal mining industry, despite ever growing consumer demand. Although focus may have changed substantially in recent years as a consequence of political actions, including appreciably more research on the environmental effects of mining, ore deposit research has never been more important, as the search for new, undiscovered ore deposits becomes more difficult and costly. Despite the lack of focus on ore geology in some universities, the central role of ore geology is just as evident today, in the 3rd millennium A.D., as ít was in the past. With this, and ever-increasing globalization in mind, good possibilities for international collaboration are more important than ever before to all scientists whose goal is to understand how and why ore deposits are formed. (Nigel Cook, IAGOD President) Goals IAGOD promotes international cooperation in the study of the genesis of ore deposits and participates closely with other international bodies in the field of ore deposits research in a range of international programmes, including several IGCP projects. Current membership stands at around 500 economic geologists from more than 60 countries, both individual members and members in 9 National IAGOD Groups (China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, Tajikistan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine). Vietnam group (with about 20 new members) joins the association since the end of 2008. The society aims to bring scientists together within working groups and at the larger quadrennial meetings and interim conferences. IAGOD members are involved on all aspects of research on ore deposits from intercontinental GIS to nanoscale ore mineralogy. Individual IAGOD members pay a nominal €10 in annual dues, with national groups paying a lump sum (from €50 to €500, depending on group size). Corporate members pay €100 annually. Organization Scientific activities of IAGOD are carried out within the following Commissions and the Working Groups: Commission on Tectonics of Ore Deposits (CTOD) Working Group on 'Global Tectonics & Metallogeny (CTOD)' Working Group on 'Remote Sensing Methods for Tectonics & Ore Prospecting' Commission on Paragenesis (PaC) Commission on Industrial Minerals and Rocks (COIMR) Commission on Ore Deposits in Mafic & Ultramafic Rocks (CODMUR) Commission on Placer Deposits Commission on Thermodynamics of Ore Forming Fluids Working Group on Skarn Deposits Working Group on Tin & Tungsten Deposits (WGTT) Working Group on Ores and Metamorphism (WGOM)

Other activities 1) A new official IAGOD website www.iagod.org has been launched at the end of 2008.. 2) IAGOD has big losses in 2008. Prof. Jan Kutina, Prof. Nikolai Shilo, Dr. Jaroslav Aichler, Prof. Ludwig Baumann, and Prof. Nataly Patyk-Kara have passed away this year. All of them were long-time active IAGOD members, and it is IAGOD’s debt to the deceased to continue their work. 3) Prof. Franco Pirajno (Australia) was approved as IAGOD Traveling Lecturer 2008-2009. His lecture tour was arranged for the end of November – beginning of December 2008 and included lectures in London, Moscow, Novosibirsk, and Beijing. 4). A new working group on energy aspects of ore-forming systems is in the process of organization.
Association finances IAGOD aims to keep membership dues (currently 10.- Euro for individual members) as low as possible to enable scientists from the developing and poor countries to join the Association. Other sources of income are from book sales, occasional newsletter advertising, meeting sponsorship or surplus from symposia. IAGOD transferred its accounts from the USA to Germany in early 2005. The new treasurer has undertaken a major drive to collect back dues from members, with some degree of success. A brief summary of association finances is appended. IAGOD last received a grant from IUGS in 2003. This enabled membership of the following national groups to be subsidized: IAGOD National Group of Georgia, IAGOD National Group of Kyrgyzstan, IAGOD National Group of Tajik Republic, IAGOD National Group of Uzbekistan, IAGOD National Group of Mongolia.

7 IAGOD Newsletter 2008 OBITUARIES
In memory of Ludwig Baumann (1929 – 2008) On the 15th November 2008, the German geological community lost one of its most brilliant members. Professor Ludwig Baumann was born on the 22th March 1929 in Aue, Saxony, Germany. He studied mining and geology at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany (1948- 1953). From 1953-1957 he worked as scientific assistant at the Department of Economic Geology of the Bergakademie Freiberg under Prof. Dr. O. W. Oelsner. Ludwig Baumann received the degree of ‘Doctor rerum naturalium’ in Economic Geology in 1957. He became the chief geologist of the head office “Ore Mining” of the mining industry of the former G.D.R. and the chief geologist of the Freiberg Pb-Zn-Ag mining company (1957 - 1963). Ludwig Baumann finished his habilitation degree in economic geology in 1964 and became in 1966 a full Professor in Economic Geology and Metallogeny and the head of the Department of Economic Geology at the Bergakademie Freiberg. In 1967 Ludwig Baumann was a visiting Professor at St. Andrews University, Scotland, UK. From 1974-1989 Ludwig Baumann was the editor of the Topical Reports of IAGOD - Problems of Paragenesis. He was member of the Organizing Committees of the International Geological Congress 1968 in Prague and of the MAWAM symposium 1974 in Karlovy Vary and Cleremont-Ferrand/Paris. During 40 years at the Bergakademie Freiberg, he was the principal advisor for about 130 diploma projects and 59 theses. During his career he published over 200 papers, books, and monographs dealing with the metallogeny, geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry of ore deposits, as well as ore microsocopy. He became Professor Emeritus in 1994, but, in "retirement", he continued to publish the results of his research. For example, in 2000, he published the first book summarizing all known information about mining districts and ore deposit types within the Erzgebirge metallogenetic province. Prof. Ludwig Baumann has worked for the science community not only as a teacher, researcher and leader of different teams and projects but also as an active member of professional organizations and societies. In recognition of his outstanding career and service to IAGOD as editor of the Topical Reports of IAGOD Ludwig Baumann was awarded Honorary Life Membership of the association.

9 IAGOD Newsletter 2008
In memory of Igor Golovanov (1933-2008) Igor Mikhailovich Golovanov sadly passed away on 18 December 2008 after a prolonged illness. He was a well-known scientist specialised in the geology of mineral deposits and metallogeny, Laureate of the State Award, leading researcher at the Institute of Mineral Resources of the State Committee of Geology of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Doctor of Geological-Mineralogical sciences and a Professor. After his graduation in 1956 from the geological faculty at the SAGU, Igor Golovanov joined the IGiGAN of the Uzbek Republic where he worked for nearly 20 years. His scientific career started with research on the oxidation zones at the Kurgashinkan lead-zinc and the Kal'makyr porphyry copper deposits. During his research he discovered and described a number of new mineral types. Collected materials on the mineralogy and geochemistry of the hypogene zone of the Kurgashinkan base-metal deposit formed the basis for his PhD thesis, which he defended in 1961. Research results of copper porphyry deposits are described in detail in monographs and a series of articles, and are also summarised in his Doctoral dissertation on "Endogenic copper-bearing formations of Uzbekistan" (1974). Study of copper deposits of Uzbekistan and Central Asia was the main research focus of Igor Golovanov for a long period of time. He compiled a new classification of copper formations of the region and offered a global classification of mineral geochemical types of porphyry copper formation according to the principle of productive paragenesis. This scientific topic was discussed in his numerous monographs and publications in national editions, as well as in those published outside Uzbekistan. In these works, he established - for the first time - a close link between copper and gold and silver in copper deposits, and also the indicative role of vein copper formation for the discovery of hidden porphyry copper mineralisation. The concept is used for prospecting, evaluation and exploration and modelling of mineral deposits of Central Asia. In April 1976 Igor Golovanov was invited to SAIGIMS to take up a position as the Head of Department of Geology of Mineral Resources. He continued publishing, participated in conferences in Uzbekistan and beyond. He became the curator on copper of Uzbekistan and carried out work on implementation of deep prospecting criteria of copper mineralisation in Middle Tien-Shan. Igor Golovanov provided curatorial assistance to different industrial enterprises of the Republic, including Almalyk, Kokpatas and other geological expeditions. Since 1985 Igor Golovanov became the Deputy Director of Science, holding responsibilities of the Director of the Institute of Mineral Resources (IMR). In 2002 he led scientific work in the sector of regional geology. Igor Golovanov established a scientific school on prospecting- exploration evaluation of mineral resources, based on the ore-formation analyses and models of ore deposits. By working on mineralogical-geochemical prospecting criteria of lead-zinc, copper, tungsten and gold deposits, Igor Golovanov developed - for the first time - modelling of ore deposits in Central Asia and brought significant input into understanding of the geodynamic minerageny of the region. Results of these researches are now successfully used by geologists at geological enterprises. Igor Golovanov actively participated in the international programme of making a Paleogeographic Atlas of Central Asia, for which he prepared mineragenic and tectonic maps and a map of mineral resources. Until his last days Igor Golovanov worked on the "Atlas of models of ore deposits of Uzbekistan", but sadly his illness did not allow him to complete this work. Five PhD theses were written and defended under his supervision. He was a member of specialised scientific boards, including the editorial board of the journal of "Geology and Mineral Resources", and was also editor of numerous volumes and monographs. In 1986, Igor Golovanov was awarded a Professor title in "Geology, prospecting and exploration of metal and non-metal mineral deposits". His active and fruitful career was recognised with the medal "For valiant work", accolades "For services in exploration" and "Honours in exploration" and diplomas of the Ministry of Geology. For implementation of scientific results into industry, compilation of base of mineral resource of the Almalyk mining-metallurgic combine, Igor Golovanov and his colleagues were awarded the State Award in 1988. Fond memories of Igor Mikhailovich Golovanov, a remarkable scientist and human being, will stay in the hearts of his colleagues, students and all people who knew and worked with him.

In memory of Allen Van Heyl Jr. (1918-2008)
A leading economic mineralogist and geologist, dedicated naturalist, unofficial ambassador for the exchange of scientific information and goodwill, friend, and dad has passed away at Exempla Lutheran Hospice in Wheat Ridge near his longtime home in Evergreen on Oct. 24 after briefly contracting pneumonia. He was 90. Allen worked as an economic geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey for the majority of his career. He managed the Central Mineral Resources branch of the U.S. Geological Survey in Washington, D.C., before moving his family in 1968 to Evergreen. For many years he was the U.S. government's authority on lead, zinc, silver, chrome and nickel deposits. His expertise was mineralogy, ore deposits and structural geology. He was the author of more than 230 technical papers, and discovered two mineral species. The mineral Aheylite was named in his honor. His knowledge of the fault systems and the history of dangerous earthquakes in the Midwestern United States was used to help promote and establish the USGS Eastern Earthquakes Branch, which monitors the area. During the Cold War, the U.S. government used him many times as an unofficial ambassador of scientific cooperation and goodwill making trips to most of the iron curtain countries of the time, as well as a host for scientific delegations visiting the U.S. Born on April 10, 1918, he survived scarlet fever at age 1. He was the youngest of three sons of Allen Van and Emma Kleppinger Heyl, and his childhood was spent in Allentown, Pa., where Allen learned his love of the natural world and history from his father and other family members. Allen was a member of the Boy Scouts of America and was proud to be an Explorer Scout and Eagle Scout. Allen first attended Muhlenberg College in 1936 and transferred to Penn State University in 1937. He graduated from Penn State University with a bachelor of science degree in 1941. From 1942 to 1947, he worked for the U.S. Geological Survey in southwest Wisconsin to help map and find the much-needed lead and zinc deposits for the war effort. It was there he met on a blind date his future wife, Maxine (Mickey), while she was attending Platteville State Teachers College to get her teaching degree. They were married in a small ceremony in Platteville, Wis., on July 12, 1945. Allen received his doctorate in mineralogy from Princeton University in 1950. He was a member of numerous societies, including the Society of Economic Geologists, the Geological Society of America, the Mineralogical Society of America, Rocky Mountain Association Of Geologists, Evergreen Naturalists, the National Audubon Society, Colorado Railroad Society, founding member of Friends of Mineralogy for the Colorado and Pennsylvania chapters, the International Association for the Genesis of Ore Deposits, Colorado Scientific Society, Geologic Society of Nevada, chairman for the International Commission on Tectonics of Ore Deposits, and a fellow in the Institute of Materials, Minerals, and Mining in London, and Sigma Xi. He has been listed since the early 1970s in Who's Who. Throughout Allen's life, his enthusiasm and superb memory served him well: seeing one of the last of the Atlantic gray whales in Newfoundland in the late 1930s, going to see the Hindenburg zeppelin, enjoying the jazz clubs of Harlem, photographing and saving rare wildflowers that were about to be destroyed, remembering the history and locations of mineral occurrences, taking short conversations with Albert Einstein at Princeton, studying animals and birds, collecting butterflies, visiting historical sites, steam train rides, and recounting family oral histories.

In memory of Jan Kutina (1924-2008)
Dr. Jan Kutina passed away on August 14th 2008 at Holy Cross Hospital in Maryland, USA. He had a long and distinguished career and is mostly known for his international work in ore deposit and metallogenic research through the International Association of the Genesis of Ore Deposits (IAGOD). He published hundreds of publications on numerous subjects and has had a major impact on the way the geologic community views the global distribution of ore deposits. Jan was born in 1924 in Prague. He completed his studies at the Charles University in Prague in 1949 with the degree in Science (RNDr, Rerum Naturalium Doctor) and Pharmacy (PhMr, Magister of Pharmacy). He received the title CSc (equivalent of PhD) from the Charles University in 1957. In 2001, he was awarded the title DrSc (Doctor of Science) from the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic. In 1962 he served as Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Science of the Charles University. Kutina´s dissertation work for the RNDr degree dealt with the ore geochemistry of ore veins in the Kutná Hora district in Central Bohemia. In addition to this, his early research work dealt with crystallography (teramethylol-cyclopentanon, miargyrite). His main studies in Czechoslovakia were focused on the veins in the Příbram Pb-Zn district in Central Bohemia, where he described and interpreted a complex evolution of infilling in ore veins. He contributed to the interpretation of coccade textures of ore veins in general. He also studied colloform textures of zinc sulfides. Significant is his contribution to the classification of zoning in hydrothermal ore deposits in which he defined monoascendent and polyascendent zoning. In 1963 he was Chairman of the international symposium “Problems of Post-magmatic Ore Deposition”, held in Prague and attended by about 300 scientists. This meeting focused on the zoning within ore deposits and within ore fields. The conference also resulted in several articles in Economic Geology, in World Mining and two symposium volumes that were published by the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. The idea for a new international association was first put forward at the 1963 meeting in Prague, and between 1964 and 1965, he helped organize the International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits (IAGOD), working closely with Prof. C.F. Park, Earl Inversion, H.L. Barnes, V.I. Smirnov and D.S. Korzhinskii and other scientists. He served as Secretary General of the IAGOD from 1964 to 1969 and later was chairman of the IAGOD Commission on Tectonics of Ore Deposits (CTOD) and the Working Group of Global Tectonic and Metallogeny. Until 1968 Jan Kutina held an Associate Professorship at Charles University, Prague, Czechoslovakia. He first came to the United States in 1968 at the invitation of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In September, 1976 he received permanent residence in the USA and in May, 1980, became a naturalized US citizen. After publishing the paper “Hydrothermal Ore Deposits in the Western United States: A New Concept of Structural Control of Distribution” in the journal Science (vol.165, p.1113-1119), Jan was invited by the Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, to study structural control of ore deposits in the Abitibi area of the Canadian Shield. Since, 1968 Jan Kutina conducted systematic studies of the relations among metallogeny and deep tectonics. His experience was based on investigations conducted during mineral exploration programs by the United Nations, Bethlehem Steel Corp., Geological Survey of Canada, W.A. Bowes, Inc., and the United States Geological Survey. During the period between 1977 and 1980 he was Principal Investigator of a metallogenic project sponsored by the National Science Foundation that resulted in a number of publications.

Jan Kutina compiled mineral prognosis maps for parts of twenty countries. Two of these maps helped in new mineral discoveries, the first a nickel deposit in Burundi, and the second a Cu-Mo porphyry discovery in Nevada. Additional several other mineral discoveries resulted from his work. He held academic positions at universities in Czechoslovakia, United States, and Japan as well as research and associate/visiting Professor positions through individual invitations from several countries. Since 1980 Jan Kutina was a Research Professor at the American University where he taught Earth Sciences and developed a Laboratory of Global Tectonics and Metallogeny within the Chemistry Department. In conjunction with the Laboratory of Global Tectonics and Metallogeny, he was the Chief Editor of the international journal “Global Tectonics and Metallogeny”, published by the E. Schweizerbartsche Verlagsbuchhandlung in Stuttgart, Germany. He also held a faculty appointment with the U.S. Geological Survey, Reston Virginia. In the years 1985 to 1988 he was Principal Investigator, together with Dr. Mohammed Bensaid, Director Geological Survey of Morocco, of the project “Block Structures of the Lithosphere and its Role in the Genesis and Distribution of Metallic ore Deposits”, which was funded by the Agency of International Development. He co-chaired with A.V. Heyl an international project “Parameters Controlling the distribution of Large Ore Deposits, Ore Clusters, Mineral Belts and Metallogenic Provinces”, which held workshops in New Mexico, Sweden and Washington D.C at the 1989 International Geological Congress in Washington, D.C. Jan Kutina was also much involved in another project (IGCP project No. 354 “Economic Superaccumulations of Metals in the Lithosphere”), with workshops in the United States, China, Venezuela, Australia and Great Britain. The project, administered by the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences in 1995-2001, revealed that (1) deep lithospheric structures have played a major role in the genesis and distribution of giant and supergiant concentrations of metals in the crust, and (2) that large ore clusters formed over long periods of time by successive stages of mineralization. Jan was made an Honorary Life member of IAGOD in 1994. He remained active in international congresses within the IAGOD/CTOD Working Group of global Tectonics and Metallogeny until his death. He prepared, jointly with Dr. Patrick T. Taylor of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (Geodynamics Branch), the international workshop: “Deep Structure of the Earth and Concentration of Metals in the Lithosphere: A Geodynamic Approach” with a discussion on “New Ways of Mineral Exploration” held in September 18-20, 2001 at the Goddard Center. Jan Kutina was a member of nine of the most outstanding national (British, French, German, Brazilian, and the United States) and international scientific geologic societies and was given the honor of being elected to Honorary Membership of several societies. He spoke fluent English, Czech, German and Russian. Jan Kutina worked closely with his many friends around the world, notably Academician Pei Rongfu, Beijing, and recently with Angela Craciun of the World Mineralogy Organization. Jan Kutina has been the recipient of countless awards and accolades from every part of the world. We were privileged to have witnessed and to have been associated with parts of the important and productive career of a great scientist. Jan is survived by his wife and son in Prague and his daughter, who lives in Toronto.

In memory of Natalia Patyk-Kara (1938-2008)
Dr. Natalia Patyk-Kara died suddenly on the 29th October 2008. Dr. Patyk-Kara was an outstanding scientist and a recognized leader in the fields of the geology of placer deposits of continents and continental shelves, the geology of fluvial palaeochannels and the exploration and evaluation of estimation placer deposits, including geochemical methods. Dr. Patyk-Kara was born on the 20th May 1938 in Moscow. She graduated with honors from the chair of geomorphology of the geographical faculty of Lomonosov Moscow State University, and continued working there up until 1968, as well as during the period from 1975 to 1979. From 1968 to 1975, as a member of All-Russian Scientific-Research Institute of Mineral Resources named after N.M. Fedorovsky, she carried out research on tin deposits in the North-East of Russia. She defended her Ph.D. thesis on the geomorphology of Maliy Khingan in 1966, and in 1983 - doctoral (‘full doctor’) thesis on the problems connected with geology-geomorphology of placer deposits of Northern - Eastern Asia. Natalia Patyk-Kara began her work at IGEM RAS in 1987 within a newly-created group of placer deposit geologists under the supervision of Academician Nikolay Shilo. The subsequent scientific activity of Dr. Patyk-Kara was connected with this group, often in close co-operation with Nikolay Shilo. She worked on the development of the theoretical basis for placer deposit formation, in keeping with the high level and tradition of the Russian school of placer deposit geology. Her most valuable contributions were investigations of rare metal placers, in particular placers of titanium and zirconium in continental areas and on the Pacific Ocean shelf. She contributed to understanding the processes of placer formation and evolution and the methodology for prognosis of placer deposits. She developed a theory for the zoning of placer deposits and a methodology for the numeral modeling of placer-forming processes. These have been widely applied in both scientific research and in solving practical tasks for prognosis and estimation of placer deposits. Dr. Patyk-Kara developed a method of morphostructural and palaegeographical analysis, proved genetic models of formation and criteria for the prognosis of large and superlarge placer deposits. She also created a basis for the geochemical prognosis of shelf placers, formulated the principals of industrial classification of placer deposits, as well as the basis for typification and mineralogical analysis of placer regions and provinces. The sphere of the scientific interests of Dr. Patyk-Kara were not only the whole territory of Russia and CIS countries, but also the largest placer-bearing provinces in the world: Canada, Australia, India, China and Southern Africa. Natalia Patyk–Kara had maximum recognition as a leading specialist in placer geology among domestic scientists, as well as those in the international geological community. She became Deputy Leader of the placer section of the Scientific Council on Ore Formation in 1983 and was a member of the “Shelf” working group in the Commission on World Ocean problems, a member of specialized committees for thesis examination at IGEM and IMGRE, Chairman of the Committee on Quaternary minerals of the International Association INQUA and Scientific Secretary of the IAGOD Commission on Placer Deposits. Until the final day of her life, Natalia Georgievna was the head and an active participant of International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project 514 “Fluvial Palaeo-Systems: Evolution And Mineral Deposits”. Within the framework of this project, she organized conferences in Perm and Saint Petersburg (2005), in Trivandrum, India (2007), as well as scientific sessions at the Australian Earth Science Convention (2006), 12th IAGOD Quadrennial Symposium (Moscow, 2006), 33rd International Geological Congress (Oslo, 2008), as well as many others scientific events.
16 IAGOD Newsletter 2008
Natalia Patyk-Kara was an Associate Editor of the journal “Lithology and Mineral Resources”, an “Honorable explorer of the earth” (1998), “Excellent explorer of the earth” (2006), author of about 300 published papers – both domestic and international - and including 6 monographs. She also taught many young scientists who will continue the traditions of the domestic school of placer geology, which had been led over the last decade by Academician Nikolai Shilo and Dr. Natalia Patyk-Kara. The work of Dr. Natalia Patyk-Kara and Academician Nikolai Shilo will be continued by their successors. Selected bibliography

In memory of Nikolay Shilo (1913-2008) Full member of Russian Academy of Sciences, USSR State Prize laureate, outstanding scientist in the field of ore geology, paleogeography, lithogenesis, founder of modern placer deposits doctrine, the leader of domestic school of placer geology and prominent organizer of Russian Science - Nikolay Alekseevich Shilo has passed away in the 96th year of his life on the 8th of June 2008. Nikolay Alekseevech Shilo was born in Pyatigorsk city. He entered Leningrad Minining Institute, where he met U.A. Bilibin. That meeting determined his further creative path which was marked by an unselfish devotion to geology, metallogeny and the search for placer deposits. The mineral-resources base of gold, tin and many other types of minerals was created in the North-East of the country during the 1930’s. N.A. Shilo began his activity in industry exactly at that place, starting from his role as a foreman-geologist and making his way up to Academician and then Chairman of Far East Branch of USSR Academy of Sciences. The entire creative career of N.A.Shilo was marked by two characteristic features: on the one side, he was a prominent theorist and an expert, a founder of modern school of placer geology, and on the other – he was an excellent organizer of science and industry in the East of the country, where his name is forever connected with the creation and development of many scientific and industrial organizations, mainly, on the territory of Magadan region (VNII-1, SVKNII, Magadan Branch of TINRO, Institute of Radio cosmophysics, Magadan Branch of Khabarovsky Polytechnic Institute , Anadyr expedition), and also in Far East in general, where he had been one of the organizers and then Chairman of Far East branch of USSR Academy of Sciences. (1978-1985) The range of N.A. Shilo’s scientific interests was highly extensive and were always was on the edge of main problems of geological science. However, his main work during 60 years was development and improvement theory and practice of placer deposit geology. Since 1987, N.A. Shilo led the Placer Group of IGEM RAS, which under his supervision became the coordinating center of Russian science concerning placers. The Group coordinated works on placer geology in the framework of the scientific program “Regularities of accommodation of mineral deposits” in the RAS. N.A. Shilo formulated concepts about placer formation, and the geological controls on ore formation, considerably developed genetic and morphogenetic classification of placers, proved the significance of tectonic –geomorphologic evolution of territories for placer-forming process, suggested a systematization of placer-forming minerals on the basis of hypergene stability constants, allowing an approach to quantitative evaluation of placer-forming processes, extended and deepened the theory of continental lithogenesis. Together, these represent the fundamental basis of placer deposit exploration. Due to his work, the doctrine of placer formation became an important part in the system of Earth sciences. Many of the scientific ideas of N.A. Shilo expressed as applications to placer geology, also had fundamental significance for adjacent fields of Earth sciences, for example, for reconstruction of nature evolution in Pleistocene, for issues concerning the continental bridge between Eurasia and America, and for the geological history of Arctic and Northern sectors of Pacific basins. The Russian scientific school of placer geology developed thanks to N.A. Shilo’s supervision across several decades. The fruitful results of research by N.A. Shilo and his team had been - and in future will be - the basis for the direction of exploration of placers and ore deposits in Kolyma, Kamchatka, Primorsky, Yakutya, Amursky and other regions. Due to long-term researches of N.A. Shilo and his followers, placers deposits occupy an outstanding position among mineral deposits. N.A. Shilo’s contribution to studies of geodynamic and metallogeny of volcanogenic belts is very high, especially in the Pacific system of near-continental volcanogenic belts with their Au-Ag- and Ag-
19 IAGOD Newsletter 2008 metallogenic specialization. He suggested a new magma-fluid-gas model of this planetary system connected to the single source functioning from Cretaceous top mantle abyssal zone of Pacific segment. N.A. Shilo was a laureate of USSR State Prize, a hero of socialist labor, a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, a doctor of Honoris causa Ohio University and a honorable citizen of Winnipeg city, Canada. He was also a full member of Russian Academy of Sciences, a counselor of Presidium RAS, a deputy chief editor of the journal “Pacific Geology”. The last extremely active period of academician N.A. Shilo, within the walls of IGEM RAS, was marked by the publication of the new edition of the fundamental monograph “Placers Doctrine” (2002), three volumes of “Geologist’ Notes” (2007), new theory of the genesis of the Witwatersrand gold-bearing conglomerate deposits (2007) and the development of a totally new approach to geology of ore deposits – physical conception of ore genesis based on paragenesises of ore deposits at nuclear-electronic level. N.A. Shilo’s achievements entered the golden foundation of Russian science.

The secretary of this Group is G.A.Gonevchuk. 25 IAGOD Newsletter 2008
Events:
In December 2008, the Far East Geological Institute (FEGI) has commemorated the 100th anniversary of its first director, E.A. Radkevich (1908-1994). Having been an eminent scientist, she was a great specialist in the field of genesis of ore deposits research. She took an active part in the organization of the International Association on the Genesis of Ore Deposits (IAGOD). In 1963, she attended the founding conference in Prague as a member of the USSR delegation.
Of prime importance in E.A. Radkevich`s research are works on the metallogeny of the Pacific belt: for many years she headed the Pacific Committee on Geology and Metallogeny. This problem is considered in more than half of her all publications, the list of which comprises 300 items, including 26 monographs. In commemoration to the date, a special festschrift was issued: “Pacific Ocean ore belt: data of new investigations (for the centenary of E.A. Radkevich’s birth)”. The festschrift included articles with results of investigations of many members of Russian Group of IAGOD among which there are also members from Far East IAGOD Group.
A.I. Khanchuk and V.V. Ivanov participated in the 33rd International Geological Congress in Oslo, Norway (6-15 August, 2008). A.I. Khanchuk has presented a report which attracted great interest of the congress participants. Then at the session of the Executive Committee of IAGOD Council and General Assembly he has delegated his authorities of the IAGOD President to Nigel Cook for next 4 years.
In December A.I. Khanchuk was invited to visit Natural History Museum, London as a member of International Expert Team to examine scientific effectiveness of work of Department of Mineralogy.
Projects:
The Acad. A.I. Khanchuk took part in International project UNESCO IGCP-473 “Metallogeny of the North West Circum-Pacific”. Research agreement between Far East Geological Institute (Russia) and the Natural History Museum (London, UK).
Many members of the group took part in the projects of the Russian Fundamental Studies Foundation studying the ore deposits genesis.

Report of the Ukranian national IAGOD group
Main achievements
• “Methodic guide for assessment of perspective and prognostic resources in the solid mineral deposits” is created. • Aiming development of reliable geological background for prognosis, prospecting and exploration of ore mineral deposits the following items are designed: • Correlation scheme of major Cenozoic stratigraphic subdivisions of Ukrainian Carpathians and adjacent territories (Romanian, Slovakian, and Polish Carpathians); • Geological map of pre-Quaternary sediments in the scale 1:1 000 000 for Carpathian-Dobrudjean- Crimean segment of Alpine Mediterranean Belt; • Guidebook of the 33rd IGC geological excursion devoted to the studies of greenstone belt in Ukraine; • Generalized mineralogical, petrographic, geochemical and age descriptions of main rock types of granitoid complexes of Pryazovian, Middle-Dniprean, Ingouletskiy and Rosynsko-Tykytskiy mega- blocks of Ukrainian Shield (together with the scientists of Kyiv Taras Shevchenko National University), as well as supplementary maps, sketches, cross-sections, colour photos of typical specimens and thin- sections, graphic and chart data; • Molybdenum mineralization is studied at Oleksiivska site of Chortomlytska greenstone structure, specifically, using microprobe analysis ore composition is determined, by means of thermobarogeochemical studies of fluid inclusion in minerals and detailed mineragraphic studies the ore formation succession and productive mineral assemblages are defined; • The sites for deep (0-300 m) drill-holes are defined (together with SE “Pivdengeologiya”); by drilling results detailed petrographic, electronic microscope and microprobe studies of rock-forming minerals from Dobropilskiy Complex are conducted; preliminary geological-formational cross-sections and maps in the scale 1:50 000 are designed; • The spatial by-layer models of Ingouletskiy mega-block deep structure are designed and genetic groups of ore mineralization as well as prospecting criteria for each group are defined; • For the first time in the junction zone of Volynskiy and Dnistersko-Buzkiy mega-blocks of Ukrainian Shield the spodumene pegmatites are encountered; • In 20 rock samples from Kapitanivskiy Massif (Middle Pobuzhzhya, Ukrainian Shield) metal rhenium content from 1.1 to 10.5 g/t is determined which corresponds to the economic values for possible new geological-economic ore type. The studies are performed in the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Institute of Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Crystal Chemistry of Rare Elements (FSUE IMGRE, Moscow, Russia). At present the studies are temporarily suspended allocating for necessary financing. Following the control laboratory-analytical studied in laboratories of Department of Mineralogy, British Museum of Natural History and FSUE IMGRE, the thoughts arisen on the samples technogenic contamination with rhenium in view of its phase occurrence in fractures of the samples under study. Upon consulting with the scientists from the British Museum of Natural History during 33rd IGC in Oslo, the second-round studied of rhenium phases were conducted in the samples which did not undergo mechanic polishing (to avoid any external metal contamination). Rhenium phases are successfully identified in the edge portions of the plate cuts eliminating all doubts concerning non-natural
35 IAGOD Newsletter 2008 origin of rhenium phases in the rocks of Kapitanivskiy ultramafic massif. The special publication and report are underway which will be sent to the IAGOD secretariat follow-up. • L.V.Isakov (Dnipropetrovsk Branch of UkrSGRI) has prepared Doctor of Sciences Theses “Geological-Tectonic Regularities of Granite Pegmatite Fields Formation in the Eastern-Ukrainian Pegmatite Region” (specialty 04.00.01 – General and Regional Geology); the Theses are accepted to be publicly defended in Lviv National University in 2009.
Application of scientific results in the industry
• Following recommendations of UkrSGRI (O.B.Bobrov, O.A.Lysenko, I.E.Merkushyn), the State Enterprise “Pivnichgeologiya” has drilled two deep prospecting boreholes to assess gold mineralization in the eastern flank of Chemerpilskiy ore prospect. By drilling results and geological-mineralogical studies it is accepted for application the drilling of two more deep prospecting-appraising drill-holes in the western and north-western flanks. • The gold resources of Sorokynska and Berestovetska greenstone structures are approved (together with the State Enterprise “Kirovgeologiya”) by Ukrainian National Commission on Prognostic Mineral Resources (O.B.Bobrov, O.A.Lysenko, I.E.Merkushyn – UkrSGRI; O.M.Svatkov – SE “Kirovgeologiya”).

At the Section MRD- 07 “Mineral Resources of CIS Countries” Ukrainian Delegation has presented report on the first finding of native rhenium in ultramafic rocks of Middle Pobuzhzhya region (O.B.Bobrov and others, speaker B.I.Malyuk). • In 2008 the anniversaries of leading regional enterprises have been celebrated: • 60th anniversary of the State Enterprise “Kirovgeologiya”, the unit which in the domain of former Soviet Union, and Ukraine nowadays, comprises the history of formation and development of uranium mineral resources. • 60th anniversary of Prychornomorska State Regional Geological Enterprise ever since focusing on the Black Sea and Azov Sea off-shore petroleum prospecting as well as placer mineral deposits.
Establishing new research directions
In the reporting period UkrSGRI has prepared new project in the national scale entitled as “Creation the National Litho-Bank of Ukraine” to arrange all collected data on the main rock types and complexes of major geo-structures of Ukraine and principal types of contained mineral deposits. The works will start in 2009 together with regional enterprises of the State Geological Survey of Ukraine and Institute of Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Ore Formation of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and will include two linked directions:
36 IAGOD Newsletter 2008
• Development of technical tools for the Litho-Bank, and • Filling the databases of Litho-Bank with geological and geophysical information. The principal developer is thought to be Kyiv Main Branch of UkrSGRI, and co-developers – regional branches of UkrSGRI, State Enterprise “Geoinform Ukrainy”, other enterprises of the State Geological Survey of Ukraine. The work comprises the logical follow up of the studies commenced in UkrSGRI by the order of the State Geological Survey of Ukraine for development the comprehensive background of the National Litho-Bank of Ukraine through: • preparation of monographs “Geology of Ukraine” and “Metallic and Non-Metallic Minerals of Ukraine” (providing necessary information on composition, column types and variability of rock complexes and related minerals). The work includes volumes I “Metallic Minerals” and II “Non- Metallic Minerals” of the “Metallic and Non-Metallic Minerals of Ukraine” monograph published in 2006, as well as volume I “Complex Geophysical 3D Structure Model of Ukrainian Shield”, volume II “Precambrian of Ukrainian Shield”, and volume III “Geology of Carpathians” of the multi-volume monograph “Geology of Ukraine” to be published in 2009; • conduction the project No. 665 “Preparation and Publishing the Catalogue of Main Petro-Types of Rock Complexes in Ukrainian Shield (in purposes of their definition, description and mapping) to be completed in quarter IV, 2010. These works will provide comprehensive distribution outline and detailed geological-geophysical, geochemical, mineralogical-petrographical, petrological and radiological description of the rock types prescribed by the local stratigraphic subdivisions of the Correlation Scheme of Ukraine (stratified, plutono-metamorphic and plutonic rocks). These data comprise the ground for development the etalon sites of respective local stratigraphic subdivisions; • development the Program and Technical Tasks for the works on creation the National Litho-Bank of Ukraine over the country geo-structures. • In general, the work will include the following counterparts: • development and approval the concept and principles of Litho-Bank based on examination of i) data available (drill-holes, outcrops), and ii) new drill-holes; • studies of legal kind providing regulations for relationships between the State Geological Survey of Ukraine and subsurface user of various ownership concerning access granting to the sources of geological-geophysical and analytical information; • development of Litho-Bank database structure and major parameters; • development the Litho-Bank database Users’ Guide (access conditions, procedure of use). • It is expected that the Litho-Bank will be split into the Litho-Bank of etalon cross-sections for the valid local chrono-stratigraphic (correlation) schemes, and the Litho-Bank over entire core sections obtained by subsurface users of the State (various State enterprises) and other ownership. • In view of the particular rock types involved in the rock complexes of Ukraine, the Litho-Bank formation is thought to be consisted of two separate divisions: • litho-bank of crystalline rocks of Ukrainian Shield (rock complexes and particular deposits); • litho-bank of sedimentary rocks from various geo-structures of Ukraine (including those of the cover of Ukrainian Shield). To manage the Litho-Bank properly, it is foreseen equipment upgrade in the Laboratory of Precision Studies of UkrSGRI with certain technical devices (sample preparation and crushing kits) as well as spectrometer ICP-MS.
Scientific-information and publishing activities
• Geological excursion of the 33rd IGC is organized and held which included the objects in Kryvorizka, Surska, Verkhivtsivska greenstone structures of Middle-Dniprean mega-block and Sorokynska structure in Western Pryazovian mega-block of Ukrainian Shield; • it is under preparation and expected to be published late in 2009 the table version of Correlation Chrono-Stratigraphic Scheme of Precambrian in Ukrainian Shield containing information on the composition and internal structure of stratified and intrusive units with their age synchronizing by regions; • The preparation is underway of polygons for the thematic geological excursions over Ukrainian Shield. Information materials (excursion guidebooks with video-clips) are being prepared over polygons 37 IAGOD Newsletter 2008 of Dnistersko-Buzkiy mega-block entitled as “Granulite Complexes of Europe. Ukrainian Shield”. Besides the mentioned area, these will also include Slavgorodska granulite domain studied in 2006-2009 by drilling in the Middle-Dniprean mega-block of Ukrainian Shield; • It is published “Tectonic Map of Ukraine in the scale 1:1 000 000” prepared by UkrSGRI in Ukrainian (English edition is planned). The explanatory notes describe tectonic map of Ukraine designed on the ground of tectonic-formation principle, out the strong reference to any formal instructions in effect, and is based on the method developed by the authors on the trial basis. By the method and designing principles the map does not have analogues. The most prominent cartography factor – colour – is addressed here to the separate domains while the colour shades and intensity are used to highlight minor tectonic units of these domains. Geological-formational content is expressed in variously patterned and coloured symbols. The map legend consists of three blocks. Of these, one concerns the legend for Ukrainian Shield, next one – Phanerozoic envelope of the Shield, and the third one contains the items expressing formational content of Phanerozoic rocks and other linear and planar symbols. The legends are matrix-shaped. The map reflects tectonics of major floors – deep slices, inconsistent for different regions. Structure of the floors, positioned above or below the given slice, is expressed in the system of either individual contour lines (isohypses) or contours outlining their development areas. Geological history of development in specific regions is expressed through each tectonic unit referencing to the scale of tectonic epochs reflected in the legend. The following tectonic domains are indicated in the map: Ukrainian Shield, Volyno-Podilska Plate, Folded Donbas, Dniprovsko-Donetska Depression, South- Ukrainian Monocline, Rava-Ruska and Scythian epi-orogenic zones, mega-nappnoriums of Mountain Crimea and Carpathians, Azov and Black Sea marine areas.

Despite the lack of interest in uranium as a commodity during the past 30 years and the resulting loss of expertise and research, considerable progress has been made in research because of new ideas and technologies. These have allowed researchers to quantify models for all types of deposits. The purpose of this short course is to highlight the data and research that has quietly developed over the last 30 years as well as results from new research that can be integrated into exploration for uranium. The short course will consider models for different types of uranium deposits and the mechanisms that control their genesis, relating source, transport, deposition and preservation, and how these can be used to refine strategies for uranium exploration. Uranium Session MRD19 Oslo, Norway Michel CUNEY (CNRS), in the 33rd International Geological Congress (August 6-14, 2008) Claude CAILLAT (AREVA NC), Olli AIKAS (GSF) Short overview: Exploration activities for U deposits have boomed during these last three years because U prices have experienced a spectacular ump. A particular attention was given here to the deposits from the Fennoscandian shield including Karelia and Kola Peninsula and from the Laurentia. The presentations were concerned to deposits or prospects, as well as whole belts and provinces, and describe their geological, mineralogical, geochemical, isotopic and tectonic characteristics, resource assessments and exploration potential.

Global Tectonics and Metallogeny Journal A vision statement by Sergei Cherkasov In the 21st Century we start facing a growing demand for metals along with shortage in new discoveries of mineral deposits. In some ways, the latter is caused by the exhaustion of easy-to-find mineral deposits located at (or close to) the Earth surface. Consequently, exploration and prospecting methods have to focus on targets that are deep-seated and buried under sedimentary cover. The journal ‘Global Tectonics and Metallogeny’ was initially founded in order to accumulate publications on correlation studies between deep structures and location of ore objects known at the surface. In the past, such correlation represented just pure academic interest, nevertheless, contributing to theoretical metallogeny in the way of better understanding the metallogenic regularities at the global and regional scales. Nowadays, aside from the importance of ‘academic’ studies, growing interest to the deep-seated ore deposits forces geologists and geophysicists to look for more precise evaluation of the said correlation and targeting development of new criteria that can be used for evaluation of territories for mineral resources. This new approach differs from the others in a number of ways, such as: • the approach requests to conduct multi-disciplinary studies including geological, geophysical, and geochemical research along with metallogenic analysis and 3D-modelling of the Earth interior; • the target (users’) group for such studies is represented by researchers and professionals in the field of ore (economic) geology and tectonics, whereas the studies are being conducted by professionals in the above listed disciplines. This implies quite specific requirements for publications on the topic – high level of, for instance, geophysical studies should be communicated in a way, and in the terms allowing economic geologists to use the results in their evaluations; • geo-informational (GIS) technologies become an absolutely necessary part of the studies as in many cases analysis of multi-disciplinary heterogeneous and poly-semantic data can not be realized without possibility to combine the data in different sets allowing users to consider different versions for metallogenic applications. The above indicates the need of a modern approach and revival of ‘Global Tectonics and Metallogeny’, which should become an interface between professionals and researchers in different geological, geochemical, geophysical disciplines, with economic geologists at the core. Another point to be made on the multi-disciplinary basis of the journal is that the journal will look for new ideas in the field of tectonics and metallogeny, maybe, even alternative theories, as far as they are supported by consistent information. Through the last few years, discussions on the subject have taken place in different scientific meetings, including the 12th Quadrennial IAGOD Symposium 2006 in Moscow, 32nd and 33rd International Geological Congresses (Florence 2004 and Oslo 2008, correspondingly). These meetings attracted many researchers from Australia, Canada, China, Egypt, Russia, Ukraine, USA, Uzbekistan, and other countries, demonstrating a good authors’ base for the journal. IAGOD announces: By September 2009 suggestions on the members of the editorial board are welcome.
Global Tectonics and Metallogeny, preliminary Authors instructions
Global Tectonics and Metallogeny (GTM) provides a forum for a systematic discussion of selected questions, focusing on factors controlling the genesis and distribution of ore deposits on different scales. Special attention is paid to relationships between metallogenesis and global tectonics. Global Tectonics and Metallogeny serves as a means of communication among participants of the international discussion on all these topics and provides a link with a broad geological community which is invited to join the debate. The official publication language of the journal is English. Reports on activities of the CTOD working groups will also appear in this journal, invited review papers will be published on an irregular basis.
