Discovery of New Hydrothermal Korallovoe (13°07′ N) and Molodezhnoe Ore Fields (13°09′ N) in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge

During cruise 41 of the R/V Professor Logachev in 2019, two new ore fields were discovered within the Russian exploration area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The Korallovoe ore field is located in the middle part of the rift valley ridge and lies on a gentle slope in the depth range of 2800–2850 m. The...

Description
Summary:	During cruise 41 of the R/V Professor Logachev in 2019, two new ore fields were discovered within the Russian exploration area of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The Korallovoe ore field is located in the middle part of the rift valley ridge and lies on a gentle slope in the depth range of 2800–2850 m. The Molodezhnoe ore field is located approximately 5 km northeast of the Korallovoe field and lies on a less steeper section of the slope at depths of 3500–3550 m. The Korallovoe and Molodezhnoe fields are confined to an outcrop of a gabbro–peridotite massif on the western side of the Mid-Atlantic Rift valley. The total number of discovered ore fields in the Russian exploration area has increased to 14.
