GOLD AND MERCURY IN THE PROCESSES OF ORE FORMATION IN KAMCHATKA by V. A. STEPANOV

“…The similarity of the properties of these elements  determined the appearance of mercury minerals on gold ore deposits and gold in mercury deposits, as well as the formation of complex  gold-mercury deposits. Four geological-industrial types of gold- mercury deposits have been distinguished: the Knoxville, the Carlin,  the Kyuchus and the Chemlian ones, which include deposits with  large gold reserves both abroad and in Russia. …”

Magmatism and ore deposits of Murzinskoe gold ore field (Gorny Altai) by Anatoliy Ivanovich Gusev, Evgeniya Mikhailovna Tabakaeva

“…Different types of copper and gold mineralization at early stage are related in space and paragenetically to granitoids of Murzinsky stock. The late gold-mercury mineralization is related to dikes of picrodolerites and dolerites. …”

Amalgamation and small-scale gold mining in the ancient Andes by William E. Brooks, Gabriela Schwörbel, Luis Enrique Castillo

“…Using Inductively Coupled Plasma analysis (ICP), an average of 15 ppm (parts per million) mercury was found in the gold after the gold-mercury amalgam, with more than 300 000 ppm mercury, was burned to volatilize (rogado) the mercury. …”
