Microparticles of ore minerals in lunar regolith from sea of fertility: (Cu,Au,Ag)4Zn, Ag, Au, Sn, Pb, Sb, Re, MoS2, CdS, AuS, RhI3

A problem of search of the fine-dispersed phases of ore minerals in the lunar regolith is considered. The results of energy-dispersion x-ray spectroscopy of few native metals, alloys and sulfides, found in the regolith sample of Fertility sea, are described. It is assumed that the direct growth of submicron particles of the native metals and alloys from gas phase was possible in the interstices and cracks of rocks at the Moon surface under conditions close to cosmic vacuum. Such low-temperature fast accretion offers a possibility for multiple process recurrence at other parameters and composition of initial gas. It may serve a reason for formation of great amount of various metals and alloys in the form of the micro- and nanoparticles.
