Abstract
This paper presents induced polarization (IP) data on a number of gold deposits and occurrences in the Magadan Region. Geophysical works are effective for the study of gold-quartz deposits of different morphological types (vein, veinlet-vein, and veinlet-disseminated). It is shown that multifrequency IP sounding reliably identifies zones of carbon metasomatism, a reliable indicator of potential gold mineralization areas in northeastern Russia. Carbon metasomatism is the typical shape of phase frequency response curves for graphite and graphitized rocks.
