Abstract

The ore-bearing rocks of the weathering crust deposits of gold Balka Shirokaia set points and occurrences of gold mineralization. Gold complex anomaly and its satellites in general reflect the association of elements in the crystal base, in particular
gold accompanied by anomalies in the anomaly of
silver, copper. The weathering crust of gold, silver
and copper are redistributed in the profile of the
weathering crust and form a secondary enrichment
halos. Digital structural-lithological model of the
weathering crust has allowed to establish the topography of the roof and base of the weathering crust
and its separate areas in particular; character of
the spatial distribution of gold, copper, silver bark
weathering profile and its individual zones in particular; establish the relationship metal anomalies
in the weathering crust and its separate zones; trace
element contents of variation in the thickness of the
eluvial.
