"The Nikitovskoye mercury deposit, discovered in 1879 along the dumps of ancient mines, is located in the central part of the ore field of the same name in the Donbass. The extraction of mercury ores at the deposit, which began in 1886, ceased in the late 1990s. The richest cinnabar mineralization is observed in antimony-mercury vein ore bodies. In addition to cinnabar, stibnite, quartz, and dickite, and sometimes pyrite and marcasite, were constantly observed in many of them (Artemenko, Bagataev, 1988)."
