Abstract
The article formulates a concept of deep-level (super deep-level) hydrothermal system of platform areas analogous or similar to high-temperature hydrothermal-magmatic systems of modern volcanism areas by its geologic structure and thermodynamic parameters. The Pechenga super deep-level hydrothermal system is studied: geological and hydrogeological structure, geothermal conditions, formation of geochemical ore barriers within its interior. The authors show possibilities to use such systems for investigation of geotechnical conditions of formation of ore deposits and isolation of various industrial waste when disposed of and buried directly within natural objects.
