Abstract

The results of the study of the platinum group minerals of the Baimka gold placer cluster, Western Chukotka, Russia, are presented. Platinum group minerals belong to the iridium-platinum and platinum miner- alogical-geochemical types with the Late Jurassic cumulative pyroxenite-gabbro complexes as a probable source. Platinum group minerals came to alluvial gold placers primarily from intermediate reservoirs, which is the Volgian volcanic-sedimentary sequence. Rounded silicate glass inclusions are a specific feature of platinum minerals from the Baimka placer cluster.
