The Natalka lode gold deposit, also known as the Matrosov mine, is located in the Magadan region of northeastern Russia at 61° 39′ N, 147° 50′ E. The deposit was discovered in 1943 and production started in 1945. The mine has produced more than 75 metric tons of gold, with an average grade 4 g/metric ton (mt), and has reserves of about 450 mt. The Natalka deposit occurs along the southwestern flank of the Yana-Kolyma metallogenic belt and is confined to the major, NW-trending Tenka fault. The deposit is hosted by Upper Permian carbonaceous sediments, subjected to greenschist metamorphism. The ore zones occur along a Z-shaped, strike-slip fault zone that extends for about 12 to 13 km. In plan view, the ore zones are about 5 km long and 100 to 200 m wide in the northwest portion, 350 to 400 m wide in the central portion, and 600 m wide in the southeast portion of the deposit. The main ore minerals are arsenopyrite and pyrite, which comprise about 95% of the sulfides, along with subordinate pyrrhotite, Co-Ni...
