Presented are the first results of studying the Re-Os isotope system of native gold from the orogenic Malo-Taryny, Khangalas, and Bazovsky deposits located in the central part of the Yana-Kolyma metallogenic belt. Re concentration in the sampled gold varies from 0.168 to 6.997 mg/t while that of Os changes from 0.068 to 1.443 mg/t. The data obtained enabled calculation of the isochrone age which is consistent, within the limits of error, with 40Ar-39Ar and К-Аr dates of sericite from the above deposits. The results obtained indicate that gold deposits under study were formed in the interv of 147.8–137.1 Ma synchronously with Late Jurassic – Early Cretaceous orogenic processes in the Yana-Kolyma metallogenic belt and the eastern margin of the Siberian continent. The initial Os isotope ratios ((187Os/188Os)i= 0.1844–0.2475) in the studied samples and fractions of gold from the Malo-Tarynsky, Khangalas and Bazovsky deposits suggest a significant role of a non-radiogenic component, normally associated with mantle sources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
