Summary:

The tectonic position of Raygorodok gold field, encompassing the Northern, Southern, and Central Raygorodok and Novodneprovskii deposits, along with small ore-bearing localities, is controlled by its occurrence within the tectonic suture zone, dividing the Kokshetau Precambrian Massif from the Stepnyak paleo–island arc.

The ore bodies of the Raygorodok gold field are stockworks of elongated or complex shape, as well as quartz-vein zones. The stockworks typically bear vein let-impregnated sulfide mineralization, dominated by pyrite. The ore bodies are hosted by the Ordovician volcanomictic conglomerate and gravelite, along with intrusive rocks of the Raygorodok stock and associated dikes. The Raygorodok stock of 2.5 × 1.5 km in size is composed of diorite and gabbro–diorite. The conglomerate at its exocontacts turned to skarn, while the rocks of the stock are propilitized and sericitized. The ore mineralization formed in one step. The close spatial, temporal, and structural occurrence of chalcopyrite, gold, and tellurium–bismuth mineralizations, which are often superimposed over cataclazed pyrite aggregates, is a typical feature.
