Scientific session:
1. History, current state and prospects of mineral ontogeny applied to problems of geochemistry, crystallography, mineralogy, lithology, petrology and economic geology.
Annotation: Geochemistry and nanomineralogy of ores of the largest auriferous deposits of Uzbekistan: Muruntau, Daugyztau, Myutenbay, Charmitan, Guzhumsay, Kochbulak, Kyzylalmasay have been studied.
The deposits are formed by regular row of geochemical paragenesis: /Au-W/Au-As/Au-Te/Au-Ag/Au-Sb/Au-Hg/. Nanoassemblage in micro- and nanomineral form strictly corresponds to each paragenesis. Ascertained features are the basis for determination of parameters of ore-formation, classification, prognosis and search-valuation works.
Key words: Uzbekistan, deposits, gold, geochemistry, nanomineralogy.
