Abstract

The geology of the Ak-Sug Au-Cu-porphyry deposit in the eastern Tyva is considered. The distribution of native copper in ores of the deposits was studied. It has been established that the native copper is of both hypogene and supergene origin. The hypogene native copper is characterized by an elevated arsenic content (up to 4.4 %) and occurs in association with copper arsenides, native silver, zircon, brannerite, xenotime-(Y), florensite-(Ce), chalcocite, and berzelianite. Hypogene native copper is confined to ore schistosity zones .
