Аннотация

During the 41th scientific cruise of the R/V “Professor Logachev” in 2019, two new ore fields were discovered within the Russian exploration area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The “Korallovoye” ore field is located in the middle part of the rift valley ridge and lies on a gentle slope in the depth range of 2800–2850 m. The “Molodezhnoye” ore field is located at a distance of approximately 5 km northeast of the “Korallovoye” field and lies on a less steeper section of the slope between 3500 and 3550 m in depth. The “Korallovoye” and “Molodezhnoye” fields are confined to the outcrop of a gabbro-peridotite massif on the western side of the Mid-Atlantic Rift valley. The total number of discovered ore fields in the Russian exploration area has been increased to 14 sites.
