Abstract
In recent years, interest has grown in the role of carbon compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), in endogenous processes. The body of data on the contents of such compounds in rocks, ores, and minerals is extensive. Evidence has been given for a plutonic or mantle origin for certain carbon compounds. Some groups of these compounds have been considered as playing a role in mineralization. Such compounds have been identified in deposits of gold, lead-zinc, fluorite, mercury, and other minerals. It has been suggested that heteroorganic compounds are involved in heavy-element transport and deposition. Tin deposits in South Primor'ye (Maritime Province) offer a good opportunity to study the role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, as these deposits reflect a complicated multiphase igneous history and repeated hydrothermal cycles. The purpose is to identify the distribution of the PAH groups and individual compounds in the various stages.
