The article examines the use of geophysical investigations at mining. With the purpose of investigating geological
structure of the area, opening abnormalities and searching for ore bodies within the limits of perspective section, several
dozens of ditches have been passed, which were set according to geophysical and geochemical data. For example, the
authors examined a ditch, which opened complex structured tectono-metasomatic zone, composed by quartz-albite,
albite-muscovite-quartz with chlorite and magnetite-containing albite-chlorite metasomatites of apparent thickness 110 m,
which encloses gold-bearing lenses of quartz-albite metasomatites. Along the ditch edge the complex of geophysical
methods has been fulfilled (magnetic survey, electric prospecting), physical properties of rocks have been examined.
According to the physical properties, rocks are divided into four classes. The article makes an assessment of geophysical
methods application possibility to study gold-quartz-sulphide deposits of Amur region.
Key words: gold-quartz-sulphide deposits; Amur region; magnetic survey; electric prospecting; ditch; geological
interpretation; physical properties.
