Discoveries of Nanostructures of Natural Mercury-bearing Gold at the Surface of Ilmenite Crystals from the Fadeevskii Ore-and-Placer Cluster (Primor'ye)

摘要

Recently, the volume of publications dedicated to the nanomineralogy of gold has increased significantly in the geological literature [1, 2]. Although there is wide coverage of the problem as a whole, we note that there is a lack of information on the natural nanostructures of gold. Investigations of ultrasmall amounts of rock material sampled from the occurrences of rocks and deluvial sediments of the Fadeevskii ore-and-placer cluster (Fig. 1) located at the boundary between the Khankayskii and Laoelin-Grodekovskii territories |3] may make up for this lack of information.
