Abstract
Large Au-sulfide deposits (GSDs) of disseminated ores occur worldwide in metallogenic provinces of various ages (from Precambrian to Pliocene). The studies performed showed that the great genetic diversity of GSD is determined by the similar oregenesis conditions that appear in different tectono-metallogenic settings (TMSs). A GSD is included in a certain TMS by the respective changes in the mineral and geochemical assemblages of ores. However, in the majority of cases, the GSDs of different TMSs are convergent (quasi-identical) in the texture, structure, and mineral composition of ores. All types of the above TMSs are found in Russia, which allows forecasting the discovery of new GSDs in each setting.
