The paper describes the occurrence of so-called mustard gold, which forms independent grains and rims that replace calaverite (AuTe2) in the adularia-quartz veins of the Evevpenta epithermal ore occurrence in Kamchatka, Russia. Four types of mustard gold were identified: (1) pure mustard gold, (2) mustard gold containing areas and veinlets of homogeneous native gold, (3) mustard gold with remnants of Ag sulfides (Au-Ag), and (4) mustard gold intergrown with oxygen-containing compounds of Fe and Mn. It is hypothesized that the mustard gold at the Evevpenta formed as a result of calaverite (AuTe2) replacement during the late hydrothermal stage. We propose that the chemical composition of mustard gold serves as its distinguishing feature and can indicate the geological and genetic types of gold deposits.
