Geology

Host rock:	U *erikan
Host type:	Rhyolite,Dacite,Andesite
Structure:	Okhotsk-Chukotka Volcanic Belt., Ne Striking Faults; An Elliptical Rhyolite Body Elongated Northwards And Confined To A Gentle Sw Dipping Fault.
Alteration processes:	Hydrothermal: 1) Propylitization (Chlorite-Carbonate And Carbonate-Chlorite Facies) Especially In The Ne Striking Fault Zone 2) The Formation Of Quartz-Adularia Rocks With Kaolin Near Ore Bodies 3) The Development Of Hydromica-Quartz Rocks, Characteristic Of The Periphery Of The Ore Field. 4) Argillization Manifested Along Ne Striking Faults. The First 3 Types Of Alteration Are Considered To Be Pre-Ore, And The Argillized Rocks To Be Post-Ore.
