Upper Gazimur

The upper Gazimur begins in the mountains of eastern Transbaikalia and flows towards the Argun. Its valley belongs to the mineral-bearing country between the Shilka and the Argun, where silver and lead ores drew Russian prospectors. In the early 1720s the Gazimur basin was examined for silver deposits. The river continues northeast through wooded country before joining the Argun, one of the two headstreams of the Amur.
