The main gold carriers among the sulphide minerals of As, S, Sb with Au usually follow the temporary increase of the Tatric Unit are arsenopyrite and pyrite. They are usually the As-content during the dynamic varying crystallization enriched in Sb and their characteristic feature is the strong conditions, the suitable temperature and pH conditions. The inhomogeneity caused preferentially by negative As-Au vs. quiet stable crystallization conditions seems to be not very S-(Sb, Fe) correlation. The Au contents in arsenopyrite reach suitable for Au-incorporation. up to 6700 ppm (point analyses from the Trojárová deposit) After some common assumptions the submicroscopic and in pyrite vary from 0 to 62 ppm (from the Pezinok de- gold is situated in lattice deformations.
