Early Permian stage of formation of gold-ore deposits of northeastern Transbaikalia: Isotope-geochronological (Rb-Sr and 39Ar-40Ar) data for the Uryakh ore field

This work presents the first results of geochronological study of metasomatic rocks accompanying gold-bearing quartz veins of the Uryakh ore field (UOF). Based on the Rb-Sr and 39Ar-40Ar geochronological data, it is shown that hydrothermal metasomatic processes in the ore field occurred about 280 Ma ago (Early Permian) and they are correlated with the terminal phases of formation of the Angara-Vitim batholith.
