ORE MINERAL ASSEMBLAGES OF THE MAISKOE GO LD DEPOSIT

Ore mineral assemblages from the Maiskoe gold deposit are described. T he deposit was discovered in 1991 on the Archean Dnieper-Bug Craton of the Ukrainian Shield; it advantageously differs from other Ukrainian gold deposits in that it belongs to the gold-quartz type with relative ly coarse-grained, gold of high fineness standard. The paper reports c hemical analyses of the ore and gangue minerals, including native gold , silver, tellurium, calaverite, and an unidentified, possibly new, Au -Te-Tl mineral, The sequence of assemblages is considered, along with radiologic ages of some minerals, rocks, and geologic complexes that c onstrain the age of the regional gold mineralization.
