The Asachinskoe epithermal gold deposit in South Kamchatka, Russia, is a low-sulfidation type deposit which consists of Au-Ag bearing quartz-adularia-illite veins. Cathodoluminescence (CL) analysis using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope and trace element analysis of quartz using e...
