Abstract

Various native metals (Pb, Sn, Bi, and Cu) and intermetallic compounds (Au-Pb), (Au-Ag-Pb-Sb), (Pb-Sb), (Pb-Sn), and (Au-Ag-Pb-Sn) have been revealed in placer gold deposits in the Ol’khovaya-1 River and heavy concentrate halos on the Kamchatsky Mys Peninsula, eastern Kamchatka. Interrelations (intergrowths and inclusions) of these metals and intermetallic compounds with gold and host rocks show that they are of natural origin and genetically related to the hydrothermal metasomatic alteration of the Kamchatsky Mys ultramafic massif.
