Diverse grain sizes and morphologies, chemical composition, and productive mineral associations of native Au from new mineralizations within two mineragenic areas (Mininsk–Bolshevik miogeocline, Shrenk–Faddeev accretionary) in Western and Central Taymyr, are indicative of a complex, multi-component composition of ore-forming systems and differences in the physical and chemical conditions of formation of gold ore mineralization. The obtained data on the characteristics of native Au, combined with peculiarities of the geological structure of the objects, suggest a significant gold ore potential of central sector of the Russian Arctic.

The article discusses the geological structure of the Kumak gold ore deposit, confined to the Early Carboniferous Anikhov graben of the East Ural uplift. It is composed of sericite-quartz-carbon and quartz-carbon-tourmaline schists of the Bredy Formation (C1bd). Black shale deposits are carbonaceous type and belong to terrigenous-carbonaceous and silicon-carbonaceous formations. Among the main minerals in shales are noted: quartz, sericite, carbonates, sulfides, tourmaline and carbonaceous matter. The field is characterized by a wide variety of gold ore mineralization. Rich ore zones are noted at the intersection of the East Anikhov faults oriented in the north–south direction and the branching tensile fractures in the north-north-east and north-west directions. In the ore mineral association prevailing here, finely dispersed gold is associated with small crystals of pyrite, arsenopyrite and concentrates nearby abundant tourmaline areas. The fine intergrowth of tourmaline and gold indicates the synchronism of their formation and allows us to distinguish a quartz-tourmaline gold ore formation within the Kumak deposit, comparable with a number of objects in East Transbaikal and Tuva. The most probable source of tourmaline mineralization in sericite-quartz-carbon schists could be metamorphically transformed boron-containing marine sediments saturated with clay particles and Corg. The microprobe study of gold grains taken from carbonaceous shales and weathering crusts made it possible to attribute them to the high-grade (919–1000) type, which is the leading one in the gold ore mineralization of the considered deposit. It is established that in the zone of hypergenesis, gold grains are not homogeneous. Here, secondary redeposition of gold takes place in the form of small spongy high-grade aggregates, as well as the formation of a rim on some grains with clear signs of refinement and purification from impurity elements. The geological works were carried out under State Contract No. 0246-2019-0078. The analyses were supported by the regional Grant for Science and R&D, Agreement No. 23 dated August 18, 2019. The studies into gold composition were executed in the framework of state-financed scientific topic No. AAAA-A19-119072390050-9. The authors express thanks to S. A. Yagudin for the analysis implementation and to E. O. Kalistratov for the help in description of polished sections. Further thanks are extended to R. S. Kisil and V. S. Panteleev for the help in the field works.

We constructed thermodynamic models of the formation of two types of gold-ore mineralization at the Kagan ultramafic massif in the Southern Urals (Russia). The first type of gold-mineralization is widely spread at the massif in the tectonic zones of schistose serpentinites containing typically ≤ 0.1 ppm Au. The second type of gold-ore mineralization is represented by veined massive, streaky and impregnated magnetite ores in contact with serpentinites. It contains to 5 vol.% sulfides and 0.2–1.2 ppm Au. Our thermodynamic calculations explain the formation of two types of gold-ore mineralization in the bedrocks of ultramafic massifs. Metamorphic water, which is the result of the dehydration of early serpentinites (middle Riphean) during high-temperature regional metamorphism (700 °C, 10 kbar) (late Precambrian), is considered as the source of ore-bearing fluid in the models. The metasomatic interaction of metamorphic fluid with serpentinites is responsible for the gold-poor mineralization of the 1st type at T = 450–250 °C and P = 2.5–0.5 kbar. The hydrothermal gold-rich mineralization of the 2nd type was formed during mixing of metamorphic and meteoric fluids at T = 500–400 °C and P = 2–3 kbar and discharge of mixed fluid in the open space of cracks in serpentinites. The model calculations showed that the dominant forms of gold transport in fluids with pH = 3–5 are AuCl2− complexes (≥450 °C) and, as the temperature decreases, AuHS0, or AuOH0. Mineral associations obtained in model calculations are in general similar to the observed natural types of gold mineralization.

This study reports measurements of albumin permeability in isolated coronary venules. The isolated microvessel technique allows the quantification of transmural exchange of macromolecules under tightly controlled physical and chemical conditions. Transvenular exchange of albumin was studied in isolated coronary venules during alterations in filtration rate caused by changes in intravascular pressure. The apparent permeability coefficient of albumin (Pa) at an intraluminal pressure of 11 cmH2O was 3.92 +/- 0.43 x 10(-6) cm/s. Elevating intraluminal pressure to 16 and 21 cmH2O increased Pa to 5.13 +/- 0.57 x 10(-6) and 6.78 +/- 0.66 x 10(-6) cm/s, respectively. Calculation of the true diffusive permeability coefficient of albumin (Pd) at zero filtration rate was 1.54 x 10(-6) cm/s. The product of hydraulic conductance (Lp) and (1 - sigma), where sigma is the solute reflection coefficient, was 3.25 x 10(-7) cm.s-1 x cmH2O-1. At a net filtration pressure of 4-5 cmH2O, diffusion accounts for > 60% of total albumin transport across the venular wall. Transmural albumin flux is very sensitive to filtration rate, rising 6.7% for each cmH2O elevation of net filtration pressure. At 11 cmH2O net filtration pressure, convection accounts for nearly 70% of net albumin extravasation from the venular lumen. We suggest that the isolated coronary venule is a suitable preparation for the study of solute exchange in the heart.

Although the habitability of early Mars is now well established, its suitability for conditions favorable to an independent origin of life (OoL) has been less certain. With continued exploration, evidence has mounted for a widespread diversity of physical and chemical conditions on Mars that mimic those variously hypothesized as settings in which life first arose on Earth. Mars has also provided water, energy sources, CHNOPS elements, critical catalytic transition metal elements, as well as B, Mg, Ca, Na and K, all of which are elements associated with life as we know it. With its highly favorable sulfur abundance and land/ocean ratio, early wet Mars remains a prime candidate for its own OoL, in many respects superior to Earth. The relatively well-preserved ancient surface of planet Mars helps inform the range of possible analogous conditions during the now-obliterated history of early Earth. Continued exploration of Mars also contributes to the understanding of the opportunities for settings enabling an OoL on exoplanets. Favoring geochemical sediment samples for eventual return to Earth will enhance assessments of the likelihood of a Martian OoL.

Tulakan Subdistrict, Pacitan Regency, East Java Province. This area is part of the Southern Mountain Zone of East Java, which is the Sunda-Banda magmatic arc of Oligo-Miocene age, where there are alterations and indications of valuable ore minerals. Field magnetic data is taken in an area of 1 x 1 km, with the looping method on the grid trajectory within 200 x 100 m. Then, magnetic data correction and data processing were carried out with Oasis Montaj. From the magnetic anomaly map, the value of high magnetic intensity in the southern part is fresh (intrusive) andesit-dasitic rock as host rock which causes alteration, in the middle has a low magnetic intensity value which is in the direction of the relatively NE-SW river direction, whereas in the north with high intensity is fresh andesite lava. From the image data, it can be seen that the straightness pattern of the geological structure which is dominated by the extensional structure with the direction of NE-SW and E-W is the main trap of epithermal veins carrying ore mineralization mainly Cu, Pb in the study area.

The authors briefly characterize the geology and structure of the Shtokovoye ore field attached to the area where the Khurchan-Orotukan zone of tectonic-magmatic activation overlays the structures of the Yana-Kolyma ore-bearing belt. Studied are mineral associations and physicochemical conditions of gold ore bodies, located both in granites and in hornfelsed sedimentary masses. By the main features of its geological structure, ore composition, and physicochemical formation conditions, the Shtokovoye ore field mineralization corresponds to the "depth" group of the gold-rare-metal formation, analogous to the Butarnoye, Basugunyinskiye, Dubach, and Nadezhda occurrences. Its ores are peculiar in the late epithermal mineralization, which is associated with the Okhotsk-Chukotka volcanic belt and overlays the sinaccretional gold-rare-metal mineralization.

The fluvial dynamics corresponds to the natural changes of river channels that can influence the water energy, type and morphology of the gutter, geological structure and soil types. In this context, the type of soil present on the banks of the rivers stands out, which due to their morphological, physical and chemical characteristics, will offer greater or less resistance to marginal erosive processes. Whit this study, we aim to verify the contribution of soil morphological, physical and chemical attributes in the natural dynamics of the right bank of the Paraguay River. The studied area is located in the Pantanal Matogrossense, sub-region of Cáceres, and comprises the right bank of the Paraguay River, in the region of Baia da Campina, approximately 10 km away from the municipality of Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil. We carry out morphological, granulometric and chemical description of the soil. The data were tabulated in a spreadsheet, being subsequently analyzed and discussed. The vegetation occurring in the study area is of the seasonal / cerrado and alluvial forests type, with the presence of low and semi-shrub vegetation. We classified the soil profile in the section studied as Fluvic Tb Endoeutrophic Neosol, presenting medium texture and, in general, high levels of sand and low levels of clay. The values referring to the effective cation exchange capacity (CTC) obtained in this study, were classified from low to very good, a characteristic that allows the existence of low and semi-shrubby vegetation, which contributes to the resistance to erosive processes, even that the soil has a low presenting resistance physical structure.
