The study of the geological and geomorphological structure of the Severnye Uvaly using public materials, as well as digital terrain models, made it possible to establish patterns in the distribution of the known gold placer occurences of this territory and give a forecast for new searches. For a large territory of the Russian Plain, the magnitude of the modern erosion-denudation cut, the patterns of its distribution and the role for the formation of gold placers are purposefully determined. Areas of the Severnye Uvaly with a low value of the Quaternary cover (or its absence), in which rivers expose the terrigenous Pre-Quaternary intermediate placers are favorable for the formation of alluvial gold.
