The economy of Ukraine is raw material and depends on the prices of raw materials on world markets. The five largest iron ore producing countries accounted for 86% of its world production in 2020. China, with 41% of world production, was in first place, Ukraine was in seventh place, ahead of Canada and the USA. In terms of raw iron ore reserves, our country is also in seventh place. The largest reserves of iron ore in Ukraine are concentrated in deposits of the the Kryvyi Rih-Kremenchuk zone. The article deals with a set of structural, geomorphological and aerospace geological studies to identify the relative neotectonic activity of the blocks of the Kryvyi Rih-Kremenchuk suture zone, within which the predictive structures promising for the search for ore minerals are identified. A fundamentally new geologic and tectonic model of the Kryvyi Rih-Kremenchuk suture zone has been built, which is confirmed by the analysis of geophysical fields, structural, geomorphological and aerospace data. Because of our studies, it is proposed to pay attention to the object highlighted by our research - the Zhovtorichenska syncline area within the Ternovska depression of the Kryvyi Rih-Kremenchuk zone.
