Research reveals vertical geochemical zonation in Tutkhlivayam ore occurrence, suggesting erosional truncation criteria for gold-silver deposits.
The vertical geochemical zonation of the Tutkhlivayam epithermal gold-silver ore occurrence (Ossora ore district, Kamchatka) has been studied. The chemical composition of the ores was studied based on the results of chip sampling, the concentration coefficients of chemical elements and geochemical associations in horizon samples were determined. The vertical series of geochemical zonation was determined (bottom to top): Cd-Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Mo-Sb-As-Hg-Fe-Ba-K-Mn-Au-Sr-Ca. The indicators for estimating the level of erosional truncation of the Tutkhlivayam ore occurrence, other gold-silver objects of the Ossora ore district and similar deposits of volcanogenic belts are proposed.
