Scientists from the Scientific Center of Kola and the Mormansky Institute of the Maritime Academy of Sciences showed that in the deposits of Arctic lakes there are very high concentrations of molybdenum, which are an important discovery that can cause a shift in the mineral resources of Russia.
Lake Portlobol .. Treasure of rare minerals
A recent study by Lake Portlobol in the north of the Cola Peninsula showed the remarkable homosexuality of the geotaum, since the concentrations of molybdenum registered levels in the range from 62.3 to 137 mg/kg, or 39 to 86 times higher than on average, registered in neighboring lake Karelia (1.6 mg/kg).
An increase in other metals concentrations was discovered, for example:
-
Uranus
-
Rare ground minerals
-
Cadmium and XIUM
-
Zinc and Torium
Source of the form: granite rocks, not human activity
Researchers emphasized that the highest concentration of molybdenum (137.1 mg/kg) was found in deep layers of deposits, which excludes the cause of modern industrial activity. Instead, granite rocks rich in molybdenum ore are considered the main source, where the concentrations of metal reach 600 mg/kg.
Other lakes show high concentrations
Podif Seversavi and Poland also registered high levels of molybdenum, which was 24 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg, respectively, which enhances the hypothesis of the rich area of this strategic metal.
Possible connection with uranium mines
Lake Portlobol is located a few kilometers from one of the most important uranium ores in the Kola region, which opens the door for hypotheses about the combination of Molulin with a common struggle with Uranus.
The results of this study were published in the sciences of Doklady Earth, and this is an important step towards understanding the metal wealth inherent in the Russian Arctic.
This discovery can increase the position of Russia as one of the leading countries of Mybdinum production, a vital mineral used in military, electronic and high -quality military industries.
