Nizhne-Amur zone of the Sikhote-Alin gold-bearing province on the left bank of the estuary of the Amur river of the Mongol-Okhotsk orogenic belt. ~100 tons of gold.

The Albazinskoe gold-bearing deposit is located on the left bank of the estuary part of the Amur river in the interfluve of its left tributaries Amgun’ and Somnya (Khabarovsk region). Structurally the deposit is situated within the Ul’ban terrane of the Jurassic turbidite basin of the Mongolo-Okhotsk orogenic belt. The ore bodies of the deposit are formed by conjugated dikes of the above magmatic rocks and consist of sericite-carbonate-quartz metasomatites, brecciated rocks with streaky-impregnationed quartz-sulphide mineralization and silicified sandstones with impregnations of sulphides. The deposit belongs to the gold-quartz poor-sulphide ore-formational type and is characterized by a small amount of ore minerals, the content of which is 1-5%. gold-rare metallic deposit.
