On the eastern slope of the Yenisey Ridge the new ore occurrence of the vein gold Yuzhnoe was discovered. It is confined to the zone of feathering failures of the Ishimba system of deep faults and localized in coal-bearing terrigenous-carbonate deposits of the Middle Riphean Alad’ino and Kartochki Formations. The gold-containing mineralized zone of ore occurrence is a large-volume conformable deposit with disseminated impregnated sulphide mineralization. The comparison of the Yuzhnoe ore occurrence with the prototype gold ore objects of the Yenisey Ridge is carried out. It is shown that their closest analogue is poor ores of the Olimpiadinskoe deposit.

Keywords: Yenisey Ridge, gold-ore deposits, Yuzhnoe ore occurrence.
