Genetic model of the May deposit and prognostic-prospecting criteria for the localization of mineralization of the mayskoe type (Chukotka)

The paper is described a model for the formation of gold mineralization of the May deposit, based on the generalization of extensive actual rocks, in situ observations in underground mine workings and interpretation of laboratory and analytical data. Developed prognostic-search criteria for the identification and localization of mineralization of the Mayskoye type.
