Potential of the Amur Region for ore gold
Abstract
Information on the metallogeny of the Amur Province, the identification of metallogenic zones and ore-placer clusters in it, placer and ore gold extraction since 1868 is given. The ore-placer clusters were ranked as high- (more than 50 tons mined), medium- (10–50 tons) and low-productive (less than 10 tons) according to the amount of gold mined. High-productive ore-placer clusters are subdivided into predominantly placer, ore-placer and predominantly ore clusters. It is shown that high-productive ore-placer clusters have the highest potential in the exploration of new gold deposits; in them, primarily, ore clusters and then ore-placer and placer clusters are most promising.
