Geologicheskii Vestnik

A close spatial-genetic relationship between native placers of gold and their indigenous and intermediate sources in the zone of the Main Ural fault is considered. Morphogenetic features of native gold and its internal structure, studied in non-relief polishes according to different classes of size and horizons of the Vorontsovsky Log placer, indicate a long-term connection of the placer with the primary source, which apparently are gold-quartz veins with low-sulfide mineralization of the middle-depth formation.
