N2 - In this paper, we consider the application of the U-Th-He method of isotope geochronology for native gold dating. It was shown that inclusions of uranium- and thorium-bearing minerals, including rare earth element phosphates, are one of the main form of uranium and thorium occurrence and, consequently, the main source of radiogenic helium in native gold. Since these inclusions are submicrometer-sized, the radiogenic helium formed in them is not accumulated but implanted in the structure of native gold, which suggests its good preservation over billions of years. This suggestion was experimentally supported by the investigation of the kinetics of radiogenic helium release from native gold. The first results of the U-Th-He dating of native gold from the Pedrolampi (central Karelia) and Witwatersrand (South Africa) deposits are in adequate agreement with available independent geochronological data. This allows us to consider native gold as a U-Th-He mineral geochronometer for the direct dating of ore-forming processes.
