Mineral Evolution Database
Created and maintained by the Mineral Evolution Project in partnership with RRUFF and mindat.
Mineral locality data provided by mindat.org



The Mineral Evolution database is currently under development.

Michelle_494Sarylakh Au-Sb deposit is hosted in East Yakutian postaccretionary metallogenic belt. The region is extensively faulted and folded. A dacite stock is located 2.5 km north of the deposit. The author interprets the regional intrusions to be responsible for the hydrothermal mineralization of Sarylakh.
