Up-dated ore composition data (Central ore-field, Kuznetsk Alatau)

Abstract

Applying scanning electron microscope (SEM), energydispersive microanalyzer and X-ray fluorescence microscope the ore mineral composition in Central gold-ore field (Kuznetsk Alatau) was investigated. Eleven new minerals were detected in this ore field. The differentiated behavior of mineral formation stages in veins and nearveined beresites was determined. The composition of native gold was studied, as well as the distribution of trace elements in pyrite.
