Abstract
Sample analysis using emission spectral analysis (ESA) on a UBI-2 universal generator with electronic control, local X-ray spectral analysis using a Stereoscan C-4 electron microscope and an MS-46 micro-analyzer (France's Cameka) and an IXA-50A Jeol (Japan) allowed us to establish the quantitative and qualitative composition of minerals. X-ray microanalysis was performed on a URS-50I system in an RKD chamber using FeKα radiation. In the study of ore-forming minerals, an LMA-10 laser microspectrometry system (Carl-Zeiss, Jena) with a ruby resonator, passive Q-modulator, and PGS-2 diffraction spectrograph with a quartz cylindrical lens was used for the first time. The elemental composition of several new min-erals was determined.
