Comparative characteristics of placer gold morphology and chemical composition (Middle Urals)

Floodplain alluvial deposits of the site "European" (river Garevka, Gornozavodskiy district of the Perm region) belongs to the Upper Pleistocene-Holocene deposits with established gold-bearing capacity. Spot sampling of the river Garevka with the selection of lithological samples was conducted. It made it possible to determine the yield of the heavy fraction in accordance with the lithological characteristics of the deposits. The study of gold allowed identifying the nature of changes in the morphology and chemical composition of the metal at a distance from the mouth of the river downstream.
