Abstract
Comparison of the lithological indicators of differentiated alluvium in and beyond the concentration zone of small and fine gold particles (size class 0.05–1.0 mm) allowed the correlation of mineral placer formation with the sedimentary process in the river bed. The study object is represented by Quaternary alluvial sediments in different Yakutian regions that reflect the diversity of settings of recent lithogenesis in river basins. The revealed correlation makes it possible to use the classical concepts of regularities in alluvial sequences for modeling the structure of the spit-type placer.
