Geological-structural control and criteria of forecasting the types of primary sources of placer gold on the East of Siberian platform

Identification of indicators on placer gold allowed predicting formation types of primary sources of gold and their location in the East Siberian platform, overlapped by thick cover of Meso-Cenozoic deposits, where traditional methods of prospecting of gold deposits are ineffective. Each gold-ore fo...

description Identification of indicators on placer gold allowed predicting formation types of primary sources of gold and their location in the East Siberian platform, overlapped by thick cover of Meso-Cenozoic deposits, where traditional methods of prospecting of gold deposits are ineffective. Each gold-ore formation is known to have the corresponding geological-structural control. Based on study of mineralogical-geochemical features of placer gold and regularity of its distribution, it has been determined that primary sources of low-sulfide gold-quartz, gold-copper-porphyritic, gold-ferruginous-quartzite, gold—rare-metal and gold-platinoid formations are confined to basement outcrops and their framings; gold-sulfide-quartz formation — to metasomatites, developed within the zones of deep faults, tracing the terrigenous-carbonate series; and manifestations of gold-silver formation are localized in the zones of intracontinental paleorifts. In general, identification of geological-structural location of specific types of gold sources favors more correct selection of prospecting methods for gold deposits in areas with thick sedimentary cover, and evaluating their potential.
