Abstract

We analyzed the confinement of deposits of Fe-Mn ores of the West Magnitogorsk ore zone, the occurrences in the Yarlykapov gold ore zone, and the actual deposits of jasper in the Jasper Belt of the Southern Urals and siliceous horizons of volcanogenic-sedimentary strata of the Middle Devonian. According to archival data, the ore deposits of the Jasper Belt have been developed since the 18th century CE. The examples of the earliest human use of jasper-like siliceous schists are dated back to the Stone Age.
