There are good grounds to believe that the inherited development of ore bodies controls the most important regularities in the location of deposits, especially of large ones, and also explains quite clearly the relatively selective ore occurrence in different magmas. Giant silver deposits were identified among both Paleozoic bodies and their regenerated Late Mesozoic vein-disseminated analogues. Jointly they represent a unified polychronic ore formation range. The performed investigations of mineral composition and the isotopic Sm-Nd system of granitoids in the Dukat ore field and their gold- and silver-bearing melanocratic inclusions established the possible occurrence of the Paleozoic juvenile continental crust of the Siberian Craton in their composition and confirmed our complicated scheme of oregenesis at the Dukat silver giant. The occurrence of high-grade gold in the melanocratic mineral aggregates of granitoids in the Dukat ore field should be regarded as a feature of hypabyssal gold-bearing zones being of high commercial interest.
