Geological Setting of the Khan Krum DepositResults; Microscopic Observations; Textural Features along and across the Sinusoidal-Walled Micro-Band; Interpretation; 1. The Sinusoidal-Walled Micro-Band Is Bounded from Both Sides by Barren Micro-Bands; 2. The Largest Pores Occur Only in the Thicker Portions and are Located Along the Micro-Band Centerline; 3. The Electrum Enrichments Occur Only in Thicker Portions; 4. The Electrum Enrichments in the Thicker Portions Appear in the Form of Two Bands between Each Wall and the Central Pores
