Abstract
The paper presents a study of typomorphic characteristics of placer gold from tributaries of the Kengeveem River, Magadan oblast. The placer gold was studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy at the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. As a result, the first information on the morphology, internal structure, and chemical composition of placer gold from the southeastern Taigonos Peninsula was obtained. Three mineral types of the gold were determined. The first type is dominant. Its grains are characterized by subore morphology, with weak and medium roundness. Only Au and Ag are present in the composition of native gold, other macrocomponents were not found. The gold fineness is 750‒950‰. Some gold grains bear signs of supergene transformation, which is expressed in the development of high-fineness gold rims and intergranular veins. The second type of the gold is represented by well-rounded plates with a fineness of 980‒990‰. The third type is loose aggregates of secondary high-grade mustard gold. The obtained data allowed us to determine the different transport distances of native gold and to consider the low-sulfide epithermal Au‒Ag mineralization and presumably distal gabbroids as the primary sources of gold.
期刊介绍：
Russian Journal of Pacific Geology publishes the results of research on the Earth crust and mantle composition and provides articles on the geological structure and patterns of distribution of mineral deposits in the Pacific Ocean, marginal seas and continental margins. It discusses the topics of stratigraphy, sedimentology, magmatic activity, and seismicity. The journal deals with the problems of lithosphere plates tectonics, and offers the results of neotectonic, geomorphological, geodesic, environmental and mining studies in the Pacific region. The journal accepts theoretical, methodical and philosophical articles covering general issues of geology, geophysics, geochemistry, geoecology and mining. The journal also publishes critical notes and comments, and reviews.
