Abstract

40Ar/39Ar dates on the quartz–micaceous–sulfide, quartz–gold–arsenopyrite–pyrrhotite, and quartz–gold–stibium associations at the superlarge (>1000 t Au) Olimpiada gold deposit, the Yenisei Ridge, are compared. It is established that the hydrothermal activity at the deposit has continued for no less than 150 Ma from 817 to 660 Ma.
