| 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. |
