Abstract

The article provides conclusions on the history of development of the topography within the Kurtushibinsky metallogenic zone, based on compilation of maps of the vertex and base surfaces of different levels. The areas of erosion and accumulation of loose material, took place at different phases, have been distinguished. The outlines of the potentially gold-bearing Gagul River paleovalley were drawn, that was not previously identified. The prospect for gold of this paleostructure and its associated recent alluvial systems has been concluded. The sites most promising for placer gold exploration have been outlined.
