Graphite-bearing shales as a promising resource of precious metals in the Russian Far East.
Outward looks of gold and PGE in graphite-bearing shales of Sutyr unit in the east of Bureya massif (the Far East of Russia) are studied using the methods of gravity and fl otation concentration and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis. The obtained results allow us to suspect the presence of a complex Au-PGE mineralization there, which is not investigated yet, and not involved in industrial use.
