摘要
We have studied the geological structure, material composition of the ores, and the age of the Nizhny Birkachan volcanogenic gold-silver deposit discovered recently. The ore bodies consist of veins and vein-streak zones of adularia-carbonate-quartz composition; they lie in granodiorite porphyries with U-Pb zircon age (ID-TIMS) equal to 335 & PLUSMN; 2 Ma. The ores are low sulfide, low silver (Au/Ag = 1-2), with pyrite dominating the ore minerals. The Ag minerals are tennantite, Ag sulfide, native gold and silver, and hessite. From an ore vein we obtained an adularia-based Ar-40/Ar-39 age equal to 169 & PLUSMN; 4 Ma, which reflects the rejuvenation of the isotopic argon system after the emplacement of a dike of unaltered Jurassic basites that cuts through the ore body. The Nizhny Birkachan deposit has a geological structure and ore composition that are very similar to those of other Au-Ag deposits at the Kedon volcano-plutonic belt such as Kubaka and Birkachan; it was also formed in the age span 290-335 Ma.
