Studies of the kinematics of the Zvenyhorod-Bratsk and Kirovohrad fault zones of the Inhul Domain of the Ukrainian Shield are relevant in terms of studying the geodynamic processes that played an important role in the formation of mineral deposits of the Kirovohrad ore region. A powerful impetus for the detailed study of the ore region was the discovery of uranium deposits here. Deposits and ore occurrences of gold and rare metals were also found and studied. Currently, the central part of the Ingul Domain is considered one of the main areas for expanding the country’s mineral resources.
