Crystal morphology and thermal EMF of pyrites in the western flank of Sukholozhsky gold ore field (Lenski ore area)

The investigated crystal morphology and thermal EMF of pyrites in the western flank of Sukholozsky ore field showed that the pyrite crystals have cubic habitus with a weakly-developed face {210}. The crystal faces {100} and {210} are covered with multiple irregular-oriented growth laminae. It has been determined that pyrites have such a property as p-type conduction and embrace insignificant thermal EMF variations. The results of the research indicated the fact of upper ore zone erosion in the western flank of Sukholozhsky ore field and its area potential at depth
