“Gold Minerals” LLC has a license on exploration and extraction of ore gold at Chudnoe deposit (Komi Republic). The areas, characterized by various research of mineralization, are singled out on the deposit. The vein (network) non-sulphide and palladium-gold-fuchsite areas (Chudny area) are developed in Riphean-Vendian rhyolites. The gold mineralization in territorial sedimentation of Alkesvozh suite is considered as fossil placer with stratiform and epigenetic ore placers – Nesterovskiy and Samshitoviy areas. Industrial estimation of the central part of gold mineralization was carried out on the Chudny area. Ore zones, containing the industrial bodies are singled out. Development of temporal conditions for open cast mining was carried out along with the feasibility study. Technological properties of ores were researched along with definition of their gravitational concentration scheme. There was researched the composition of adjoining rocks and ores. Morphological peculiarities, structure, composition of gold and associated minerals are characterized. For the purpose of confirmation of these suppositions and researches of technological properties of ores in the nearest five years, the company estimates to carry out the additional geological prospecting works on selection of large bulk sample by underground method with its sampling at mobile module concentration plant.
