Annotation The history of geological work that provides gold mining in Transbaikalia is considered in the article. The disembodied data from earlier studies are systemized. Special attention is paid to the personalities of the scientists who have contributed to the development of Russian geology, including the territory of Transbaikalia. Due to the relatively high concentration of easily mined deposits, gold mining in Transbaikalia, allowed producing precious metal for a certain time, without conducting long-term, systemic, expensive geological surveys. During the chronological period studied, an intensive geological exploration of Transbaikalia was carried out. By the end of the nineteenth century the general concept of the geological structure was formed. At the turn of the century an extensive geological exploration work along the construction of the Transbaikal railway was carried out, and many gold deposits were identified and investigated. The outstanding figures such as M. G. Meglitsky, V. A. Obruchev, I. S. Bogolubsky, A. P. Gerasimov, A. E. Geidrots, A. I. Pavlutsky, A. I. Kulibin, E. O. Grishaev, N. P. Anosov, A. A. Cherkasov, I. A. Makarov, A. D. Ozersky played a significant role in the geological exploration of gold deposits in Transbaikalia.
Key words Transbaikalia, gold mining, exploration, Russian geographical society, Geological committee, Transbaikal railway
