Prospects for the development of potassium salt deposits within the kopatkevichi section in the central structural area of the Pripyat trough
Abstract
The article considers the geological structure and potassium content of the deposits of the Kopatkevichi area, which is promising for potassium salts. The results of the analysis of geological and geophysical material obtained in the course of exploration work are presented. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the VI-p potash horizon, which has the greatest prospects for industrial development. Recommendations are given for further work within the Kopatkevichi area. It is noted that the ores of the potassium horizons common here belong to the red-colored hypersaline association, and the reserves of potassium salts within it can be considered as a reserve base for the Petrikov deposit.
