The gold content in copper-pyrite ores of the Gadabay deposit is considered. The purpose of the research presented in the basis of the article, was to find out the features of the gold content of copper-pyrite deposits using the example of the Gadabay deposit, for the development of examples and the forecasting of new sites and objects. Gadabay Field is located in the axial part of the Shamkir uplift of the Lok-Garabakh structural-formational zone of the Lesser Caucasus. The character of gold and silver distribution in the ores of the Gadabay deposit was studied by atomic-adsorption methods. It was found that in different types of ores and monomineral fractions of basic sulfide minerals (pyrite, chalcopyrite, and sphalerite), noble metals (Au, Ag) are distributed unevenly.
