Abstract

New types of gold mineralization in the Upper Bijan gold-bearing node of the Jewish Autonomous Region (Far East), which is very promising in the region, are being considered. The Talachinskoye and Zheltogorsk gold-bearing fields located in a transverse tectonic block relative to regional ore-controlling faults are the most promising within the ore node. The Talachinsky field is localized in the black of the Riphean age. A contrasting geochemical anomaly of gold with a length of 0,6 km was revealed in the ore field. A 1,3 km long quartz jasperoid deposit has been contoured in the Zheltogorsky goldfield, similar to the deposits at the Twin Creeks deposit in the USA. The Verkhne-Bijan gold-bearing node is promising for identifying large- to medium-scale industrial gold deposits
