Köppen climate type:
The early stages of quartz-sulfide mineralization were characterized by typical mesothermal PT parameters and composition of hydrothermal solutions, and the early stages mineralization itself is spatially intimately associated with intrusive bodies. For the later gold-telluride mineralization, more typical is its localization at the upper horizons of the deposit and spatial association with the volcanics of andesite-dacite composition. And the features of mineralizing solutions responsible for precipitation of gold-silver-telluride mineralization are quite typical of the epithermal gold deposits.
