Popis: An attempt was made to use GIS technologies for the development of methods of prognostic evaluation of the metal potential of a local territory based on mathematical statistics. The Degdekan-Arga-Yuryakh mineral district (Magadan region) was chosen as the research subject, where a spatial database of the geology and mineral resources was established. The application of methods of the spatial-statistical analysis of diverse cartographical-geological information provided the quantitative assessment of the spatial location of geological objects and gold mineralization in the region. Consequently, we were able to perform the spatial analysis of the location conditions of the gold deposits and recognize their relation to the geological characteristics. Based on the revealed geological features favorable for the location of mineralization, we distinguished two areas promising for commercial mineralization prospecting. Our work demonstrated the sufficient efficiency of the applied methods in large-scale metallogenic investigations at the ore cluster level.
