The Khokhoy gold deposit that contains Sb-rich avicennite is located in the Verkhneamginskiy ore district, on the northern slope of the Aldan-Stanovoy Shield at the junction of two large structural units: the Olekma granite-greenstone region and the Aldan granulite-gneiss region, in the zone of the submeridional Amga deep fault. The mineralization is represented by sandy-clayey-clastic karst formations developed at the tectonically deformed contact between Lower Cambrian carbonate and Lower Jurassic terrigenous deposits. Ore-conducting submeridional steeply deepening fault zones are accompanied by Cretaceous dikes of alkaline gabbroic rocks. Primary ores are represented by pyrite-adularia-quartz metasomatites formed as a result of silicic-potassic metasomatosis of carbonate rocks. The only macroscopic mineral in the ore minerals of the Khokhoy deposit is pyrite, always altered to goethite or hematite. All other ore minerals form microscopic inclusions in pyrite and vein minerals.
