Platinum placers derived from the Karaginsky ophiolite complex. Located on the Kamchatskiy Mys peninsula.

Magmatic rocks are represented by ultrabasic rocks and gabbroids combined into an ophiolite association. The placer gold deposit was discovered in 1966–1967 during a 1:200,000-scale geological survey in the middle reaches of the Olkhovaya-1 river. The Olkhovaya-1 ore occurrence is formed by six contiguous placers. The placers are of the flood-plain, bench alluvial, and fluvioglacial types. The lengths of the placers range from 400 to 2000 m, with an average width from 20 to 74 m. The bedrock is composed of pebbles and sands of the Olkhovskaya formation and Quaternary marine and fluvioglacial deposits. The probable source of Au-Ag-Cu minerals of the Olkhovaya-1 river placers is located in the upper reaches of water courses that erode the ultrabasic massif of Mounts Soldatskaya and Golaya (Kamchatka Cape Peninsula).
