Age of Rare-Metal Pegmatites of the Aleksandrovskoye Ore Field, East Sayan Pegmatite Belt
摘要
The paper presents the results of U–Pb (CA-ID-TIMS) geochronological studies of columbite-tantalite and zircon from the pegmatite vein of the Aleksandrovskoye ore field, which is part of the East Sayan rare-metal pegmatite belt. As a result of U–Pb geochronological studies of columbite, age estimates of 1825 ± 3 Ma were obtained for the first time for the quartz core of the pegmatite vein and 1817 ± 5 Ma for the zone of intense alteration of amphibolites within its exocontact. The age estimate of 1810 ± 5 Ma was obtained for metamict zircon from the boundary zone of the quartz core. The studies suggest that the age of rare-metal pegmatites of the Aleksandrovskoye ore field in the East Sayan pegmatite belt differs significantly from that of the spatially conjugated granitoids of the Sayan complex (1.86–1.90 Ga).
