Geography
It is located in the lower reaches of the Burkandi River (a tributary of the Bureloch River, the Kolyma basin ), 73 km north-north-west from Susuman and 460 km from Magadan .
History
The settlement of the miners and the mine of Burkandy appeared in 1959 on the left bank of the river Burkandi in its lower part. The name comes from the Evenk Burgand, where the burgan is “a flood coast, an island covered with forest” [6] [7] . Not far from the mine there is the granite mountain range of Tas-Burgandi, which means “Stone Burgandy”. The name of the river and mountain range appeared in 1935 on the eye map of K. A. Shakhvarstova. Then, in testing the Burkandi Valley, Shakhvarstova’s employees washed only the gold badge.
The survey of the Burkandi basin continued in 1938 by a detachment of geologist Arkhipov, who died on Lake Malyk during a storm: drowned along with all field materials.
In 1939, P. N. Ushakov’s geological search party continued research. He wrote [8] :
| In the Burgandi River, the presence of only relatively weak placer gold-bearing ... apparently, placer gold-bearing stands in connection with the widespread development of traces of glacial activity. The latter destroyed part of the loose sediments and, in part, apparently, blocked them ... |
Large boulders of glacial origin prevented the prospecting by drilling.
In 1955, geologists of the Salakalyakh prospecting area of the Berelykhsky district of GRU carried out exploration in the valley of the Burkandi River using rock-drilling machines, outlined a gold deposit, as a result of which it became possible to start commercial gold mining.
In 1970, a gold nugget weighing almost 10 kg (9644 g) was found on a creek at the distant mine of Burkandya. Since then the 100th anniversary of the birth of V.I. Lenin was celebrated, the nugget was called “Jubilee” [8] .
