Description
Summary:The detailed mineralogical studies of the Zaderzninskoe deposit showed diverse mineral composition. Various tellurides (hedleyite), sulfotellurides and sulfosalts of silver, bismuth and lead (minerals of tetradymite group, minerals of lillianite-gustavite series), and native bismuth were identified for the first time, as well as their secondary tellurites and oxides. Native gold of fineness of 750 ‰ is associated with Te-Bi minerals.
