Abstract
Silver is a precious metal that is present everywhere in our life: in the jewelry industry, in different spheres of industry and electronics Complex lead-zinc and gold deposits are the main sources of silver, when developing such deposits silver extracted as a tailwind component. Own silver deposits is mainly abroad such as: Potosi, Pachuca, Guanajuato, Zacatecas (Mexico) and Cerro de Pasco (Peru). In Russia the only industrial source of silver is the Dukat Deposit, located in the territory of Magadan region. According to the forecast reserves of silver Kamchatka is not inferior to the largest deposits not only in Russia (Dukat), but other the countries-leaders on extraction of silver (Mexico, Peru). In the 70-s years of XX century by the Soviet geologists in the territory of Koryakia was discovered large silver-bearing province.
The area of application of research results is mining industry. The authors of the project showed that the bowels of North-, Central – and South Kamchatka mining areas contain significant reserves of silver (MutnovskyAu-Ag-Pb+Zn+Cu deposit up to 5 000 tons; Ichigin-Unejvayam ore field not less than 6 000 tons). Prospective ore objects of the Kamchatka region have a wide variety of the deportment of silver from intermetallic compounds of Ag, Au and Hg to complex sulfosalts (canfieldite, freibergite, proustite-pyrargyrite and others).
