Abstract
The sulfur isotope composition was measured in the main morphological types and generations of sulfides composing the ores of the Dzhusa deposit and the contents of trace elements were measured using highly sensitive laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) for the first time. According to the sulfur isotope geochemistry, we assume that a deep magmatic source made a predominant contribution to the ore-forming fluid. Using the STATISTICA software modules, correlation analysis was performed and the trace element distribution patterns in sulfides were revealed.
