Abstract
The seas and oceans sources have been attracted great scientific and practical attention owing to possible depletion of continental metal deposit, include gold. It has been determined that hydrothermal ore formations in the ocean include metal-bearing and ore residuals, mass sulphides and hydrothermal iron-manganese crusts. The exhibition of metal-bearing residuals in the Red sea have been founded in 1960ies, sulphide constructions in the region of East Pacific Rise have been developed in 1978 and in next year the active “black smokers” have been discovered.
