Recent studies of the lithosphere based on the gravity data from the Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) were used for the first time to analyze the distribution patterns and formation of the Mississippi Valley–Type (MVT) lead–zinc deposits on the eastern margin of the Siberian Platform. MVT deposits occur on the flanks of the large Lena–Vilyui oil and gas province. A GIS analysis of the model of the structure of the Earth’s crust showed that the spatial distribution of MVT deposits coincides with the areas where the Moho surface (asthenosphere) rises. These deposits are attributed to the medium temperature area of the upper mantle and controlled by abnormally deep troughs (about 2 km) of the upper horizon of the lithospheric sedimentary layer indicated by seismic speeds. The hybrid geothermal-hydrocarbon mineral-forming system could play an essential role in forming MVT lead–zinc deposits.

西伯利亚地台东缘密西西比河谷型铅锌矿分布与形成（全球地壳模型GIS分析结果）

最近基于重力场和稳态海洋环流探测器（GOCE）的重力数据对岩石圈的研究首次被用于分析密西西比河谷型（MVT）铅锌矿床的分布模式和形成在西伯利亚地台东缘。MVT 矿床出现在大型 Lena-Vilyui 油气区的侧翼。地壳结构模型的GIS分析表明，MVT矿床的空间分布与莫霍面（软流圈）上升的区域一致。这些沉积物归因于上地幔的中温区，并受地震速度指示的岩石圈沉积层上层异常深槽（约2公里）的控制。
