The gold-bearing hydrothermal-changed zones strictly confined to the fault dislocations of the north-west strike have been determined within Soyudlu ore field. They have confined to exo- and endocontact zones of gabbroids and serpentinites. These zones with transverse structures in the south-east direction have been cut and gone down. In consequence the subsided (East Gyuneshli) and uplifted (West Gyuneshli, Damirchidamy) blocks have occurred within ore field. It was determined that the perspective zones of gold mineralization were within uplifted blocks, where the content of gold was rather high (0,6-22.6 q/t) in the tests. The gold absence in the tests selected from zones of East Gyuneshli is connected with its location within subsided block. Thus the author considers that West Gyuneshli and Damirchidamy areas have rather high perspectives for revealing of the industrial gold concentrations in them.
