Abstract

We researched the minerals from heavy concentrates of alluvial-proluvial deposits of the Terek River head (Georgia). Four mineral associations have been distinguished: tourmaline–topaz–quartz, pyrite–magnetite, galena–chalcopyrite and chalcopyrite–tourmaline. Based on the performed studies, the assumption is made about the development of greisening processes in the apical parts of microcline granites and granodiorites massifs and the presence of hydrothermal deposits.
