Abstract

Ores of the Kordonnoe skarn scheelite-sulfide deposit located in the Malinovsky ore cluster in Primorsky Krai were examined in core samples. The mineralogical study revealed that two types of sulfide ores characterizing the tungsten and tin-polymetallic mineralizations are accompanied by two different sulfosalt associations: Pb-Bi and Ag-Pb-Bi, respectively. Rare minerals (goongarrite, wittite, lillianite, vikingite, and others) are briefly described and their typomorphic features are characterized. The problems of the ore genesis are discussed and the mineralization of the deposit is compared with that of the reference objects of the region.
