Tokur gold mining center in the Amur gold province

The paper describes the historically formed Tokur gold mining center. It consists of the Malomyr, Verkhnyaya Stoiba, Tokur and Khargino ore and placer clusters of the Jagdy-Selemdzha metallogenic zone of the Amur gold province. Since 1918, about 127,2 tons of gold have been extracted from gold deposits of the center, mainly from the major Albyn, Tokur and Malomyr deposits. It is shown that the near-term perspectives of the Tokur center are associated with the development of the Elgin and Albyn fields. A list of gold prospects is given; their additional appraisal can result in the identification of new economic ore gold deposits.
Keywords: Amur province, Tokur gold mining center, deposit, ore formation, promising manifestation.
