Platinum Group Minerals of the Baimka Gold Placer Cluster, Western Chukotka: New Data
摘要
Abstract
The results of the study of the platinum group minerals of the Baimka gold placer cluster, Western Chukotka, Russia, are presented. Platinum group minerals belong to the iridium–platinum and platinum mineralogical-geochemical types with the Late Jurassic cumulative pyroxenite-gabbro complexes as a probable source. Platinum group minerals came to alluvial gold placers primarily from intermediate reservoirs, which is the Volgian volcanic-sedimentary sequence J3v2–3. Rounded silicate glass inclusions are a specific feature of platinum minerals from the Baimka placer cluster.
