Summary The research aim was determination of the inner structure and kinematics of the Sushchany-Perga fault zone of the western part of the Ukrainian Shield. For investigation of fracturing and structural-textural elements of rocks the structural-paragenetic method of tectonophysics was used. It was determined that formation of the Sushchany-Perga fault zone continued during at least five phases of deformation. They were accompanied by the formation of differently oriented shear zones: Khmelivka, Sushchany, Perga, Rudnia-Khochin, Lopatychi. The Khmelivka and Sushchany shear zones are similar to striking of the Nemyriv and Khmelnik fault zones of the Ukrainian shield, which belong to the Nemyriv stage of faulting (∼ 1.99 Ga). The Rudnia-Khochin and Perga phases are related to the fact that the Sushchany-Perga fault zone was quite active during the junction of the Fennoscandia and Sarmatia microplates. We have established that the development of thrust fault and normal downthrow fault type shears, which took place in an environment of compression and extension, respectively, is associated with the formation period of the Perzhan granitoids complex (1.801.70 Ga). This alternation of the compression and extension conditions entailed resulted in the ore occurrences and deposits formation within the Perga tectonic joint.
