Abstract

Mineralogical-geochemical studies have shown that gold from the Plavica high sulfidation epithermal deposit (Republic of Macedonia) contains an admixture of Fe and Cu, that the morphology of gold indicates the proximity of the primary source, and that the chemical composition of gold is independent of its morphology. The composition of gold and its morphology are the direct searching criteria, indicating the genetic type of mineralization. Pan sampling and the subsequent study of the typomorphism of gold may serve as an effective method for searching for epithermal high sulfidation deposits. Pan sampling allows us to distinguish and study in detail the chemical composition and morphology of native gold from deposits of this type.
