The paper presents the results of fuid inclusion study of auriferous and barren quartz veins of the Krasnoe gold deposit situated in the bodaybo area (Irkutsk oblast) using thermo- and criometry, Raman spectroscopy and gas chromatography. The auriferous and barren quartz veins were formed from Mg-Na and K-Na chloride fuids with salinity of 6.3-10.6 and 7.3-13.9 wt. % NaCl-equiv. at temperature 260-330 and 140-280 °с, respectively, and pressure 1.2-1.6 kbar. Carbon dioxide (up to 98 mol. %) is the main component of the fuid followed by H2O and N2. The O isotopic composition of quartz both from auriferous and barren veins (δ18О 18.5-19.3 %°), as well as the calculated δ18О values of the fuid (δ18OH2O 9.82-12.30 ‰), correspond to those of metamorphic rocks and fuids.
