Main scientific achievements Elaborated metallogeny of ophiolitic belts;

Applied formational analysis of ore deposits of Azerbaijan;

Elaborated in detail principles of isolation of “ore-magmatic systems” for various volcano-plutonic complexes as a model of paragenesis of products of ore generating magmatism and endogenic mineralization;

Scientifically proved the presence of mercury belt of the Lesser Caucasus;

Leaning on cosmophotogeological, geophysical, geochemical and terrain geologic studies composed “Cosmotectonic map of Azerbaijan” (scale 1:600 000) and “Regional Fractionation Map of Azerbaijan” with prognosis of ore deposits” (scale 1: 600 000);

By identifying patterns of location of gold, copper, molybdenum, lead and zinc (polymetallic), chromite, antimony and other ore deposits of Azerbaijan presented their prognosis evaluation and prospecting criteria.
