Abstract

The results of U-Pb (ID-TIMS) geochronological studies of garnet from skarn rocks of the Gavasai magnetite deposit (Gava-Sumsar ore region, Kyrgyzstan) are presented. The data obtained on the age of the manifestation of contact-reaction processes (304±1 Ma) are consistent with the stage of the formation of gold and copper-gold mineralization in this area. This gives reason to assume the presence of rich deposits of other ore specialization within the distribution of iron ore deposits.
