Abstract

This paper presents the results of studying the features of formation and mineral composition of secondary quartzites of the Alkamergen deposit (Pavlodar region) through mineralogical and petrographic studies of samples on an automated diffractometer. The hydrothermal-altered rocks of the deposit, which are represented by medium-temperature secondary quartzites of the alunite facies, have been studied. The results of the research made it possible to establish the genetic features of the formation of the Alkamergen deposit. In terms of rock composition and ore mineralization, this object is a typical representative of acid-sulfate type deposits.
