Abstract

In this paper, we summarize new data on the chemical and isotopic composition of thermal wa-ters of the Talskoye deposit in the Magadan Oblast. We were the first to obtain the data on the content of stable oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δD) isotopes in thermal and background waters, as well as oxygen (δ18O) and carbon in bicarbonate ion (δ13C), even though this is the largest ex-ploited deposit of low-mineralized alkaline nitric thermal waters in the region. The thermal water is fresh (M = 980 mg/l), alkaline (pH = 8.9), hydrocarbonate-chloride-sulphate sodium with a high content of fluorine (up to 17 mg/l) and silicic acid (up to 152 mg/l). The deposit is fed by atmospheric precipitation; we did not find traces of melting underground ice supply. A sequential scheme for calculating the temperature of a deep reservoir was applied, which allowed the temperature of water formation to be constrained at 108 °C suggesting an input of fluids rich in potassium and sulfate ion.
