The article is devoted to the peculiarities of genesis and mineralogical potential of Chemerpol iron-magnetite structure, its difference from other similar objects of Central Bug area. As an independent geological-geophysical object it was established according to the data of gravimetric and magnetometric survey of medium scale as a complex localised maximum of subisometric shape with diameter of 1.7 km and area of 2.8 km2. In regional structural and tectonic terms, this maximum is confined to the Sinitsiv block of the Golovanovsk suture zone. As of today, the Chemerpol structure has been sufficiently investigated by mapping drilling and various geophysical methods at the level of the crystalline basement surface. Based on the obtained data, the main petrophysical complexes involved in its structure have been determined. The industrial and mineralogical potential of the Chemerpolska structure is estimated at 100 million tons of magnetite quartzites and carbonate formations, as well as 2 tons of exogenous gold in the weathering crust. No estimates have been made of the underlying gold deposits. Copper mineralisation, represented by the natural copper, chalcopyrite and chalcosine, has been identified in the weathering crust and crystalline basement. By structural and tectonic features, petrophysical and mineralogical diversity, the Chemerpolska structure can be attributed to local pipe volcanic-magmatic objects. Its closest well-studied geological analogues may be such Precambrian "stratified" iron-oxide-gold-copper deposits as Solobot and others of the Carajas ore district in Brazil. For geological verification of new conclusions about the peculiarities of the Chemerpol structure and its actual ore potential, it is necessary to continue its study based, first of all, on the data of targeted structural exploration drilling and deep seismic and electrical exploration methods. The economic efficiency of extraction of the main mineral components of the Chemerpolska structure - gold and magnetite iron - can be increased due to the accompanying use of non-metallic calcifiers for the manufacture of sintering flux, soil deoxidation, raw materials for road pavement.
