Abstract

Еxploration of gold as a mineral resource in Macedonia has a long history. There are more than 30
occurrences, but now gold is obtained only from the Buchim mine (Bogoevski, K., 1998). This paper
presents the chemical characteristics of gold which was researched by schlych prospection in several
localities related to the Tertiary magmatism.- Borovic, Borov Dol, Plavica and Alshar. The localities selected
belong to two major geotectonic units - the Vardar zone (ore deposits Borov Dol, Alshar and ore occurrence
Borovic) and the Serbo-Macedonian massif (Plavica ore deposit). The Tertiary magmatism of calc-alkaline
type is most important for ore-forming processes in the region. The host rocks of the localities are mostly
presented by volcanic sediments and volcanic and subvolcanic facies of latite, quartzlatite, andesite, basalt
and their pyroclastics (ignimbrites, tuffs and breccias)
