      ABSTRACT

      Purpose. This article focuses on analyzing the geodynamic processes that underline the formation of the Shu-Ile ore zone. The study is based on the principles of plume tectonics, which have gained widespread recognition in the geological community in recent decades.

      Methods. The article considers the main aspects of the plume-tectonic concept, including the mechanisms of mantle material flows and their impact on regional geological processes. Special attention is paid to analyzing tectonic and magmatic events associated with forming the Shu-Ile ore zone within plume-tectonic mechanisms.

      Findings. The study highlights the critical role of mantle plumes in influencing the geodynamic evolution of the Shu-Ile ore zone. Geochemical and geophysical evidence reveals the composition and characteristics of magmatic rocks, demonstrated a direct link between mantle plume processes and ore potential in the region. The findings underscore how mantle-derived material flows have significantly contributed to the formation of geological structures and mineral resources.

      Originality. The study results offer a new perspective on the geological history of the Shu-Ile ore zone, emphasizing the significance of plume tectonics as a critical factor in the geodynamic processes involved in ore deposit formation.

      Practical implications. This research is practical for geological studies and forecasting promising ore deposits in this region. It may serve as a basis for further research on plume tectonics and its influence on forming geological structures and mineral resources.

      Keywords: plume tectonics, geotectonics, geodynamics, geophysical studies, remote geological mapping, suture, ore formation
