Abstract
Geoelectrical parameters, structure and geologic-tectonic position of a number of largest anomalies of electrical conductivity on different continents of the planet Earth are analyzed against the background of published and some new experimental data. Criteria of dividing nomalies into fluid and electronically conducting varieties, and their relation with mineral deposits are considered. In Memory of Sergey Kulik
