Abstract:The Mongol‐Okhotsk suture and the Adaatsag ophiolite belt are associated with the closure of the Mongol‐Okhotsk paleo‐ocean and are located within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and Mongolia. The suture zone is flanked by volcanic‐plutonic belts that host significant metallogenic zones, containing deposits of copper and gold. The tectonic evolution of this region is not fully understood and the lithospheric structure has been poorly studied. We analyze magnetotelluric data and generate a model of the e… Show more
