Abstract
The Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) deposit class includes a number of loosely related deposits with a pool of common characteristics. The Kis-Kuel intrusion-related IOCG deposit in Eastern Yakutia (Russia) with a wide range of mineral styles has a direct genetic link with a cooling intrusion during its formation. The IOCG and the Kis-Kuel have common features for this style - the abundance of iron oxides and low of sulfides. Magmatic contribution to the Kis-Kuel deposit is significant. Intrusive rocks range from diorite to granodiorite in composition. Rare-earth geochemical system of igneous rocks of the Kis-Kuel intrusive is characterized by behavior close to the CHArge-and-RAdius-Controlled CHARAC-system (26
