Abstract

The Vorontsovskoe gold deposit (Northern Urals) is unique in both Russia and the world because of the diverse and original Tl–Hg–Mn–As–Sb–S mineralization. Based on the available literature and our data, we present a list of 210 minerals found at this deposit. Eight of them are new minerals discovered by the authors: vorontsovite, ferrovorontsovite, tsygankoite, gladkovskyite, luboržákite, pokhodyashinite, gungerite, and auerbakhite. In addition, 41 minerals are found for the frst time in the Russian Federation and 89 minerals are new for the deposit. We defned nine major ore mineral assemblages, including seven ones related to carbonate breccias. They contain more than 70 rare sulfdes, tellurides and sulfosalts, including 31, 12, and 9 minerals with Tl, Hg and Mn, respectively, as species-defning elements. The paper also describes these mineral assemblages and minerals of the Vorontsovskoe deposit. Keywords: Vorontsovskoe deposit, Northern Urals, ore mineral assemblage, carbonate breccia, Tl-Hg-Mn sulfosalt, new mineral, frst fnd in Russia.
