Abstract
The paper reports the mineralogical and geochemical features of the Kysylga gold deposit located in the hornfelsed Norian sedimentary rocks and classified with low-sulfide gold–quartz type of deposits typical of the Verkhoyansk–Kolyma metallogenic province. Detailed typomorphic study of the major minerals (quartz, arsenopyrite, and gold) of the ore veins shows that the deposit is assigned to the gold–silver type. Mineralogical and geochemical data substantiate this conclusion.
