The paper presents the results of a complex petrogeochemical and isotope-geochemical (Rb–Sr and Sm–Nd systems) study of alkaline syenites and ore-bearing metasomatites (beresites) of the Gora Rudnaya (Southern Yakutia, Russia), as well as a comparison with compositionally similar massifs of the Aldan Mesozoic igneous province. The Gora Rudnaya, together with the recently discovered Morozkinskoye deposit, is located within the Central Aldan ore region. The massif is composed predominantly of alkaline syenites with a minor amount of alkaline porphyritic syenites, which are intruded by later dikes and sills of alkaline syenite porphyries and calc-alkaline lamprophyres. Industrial gold mineralization is confined to beresitization zones (Qz–Ser– Ank–Py) in areas of intense metasomatic reworking of rocks along steeply dipping fault structures within the intrusion. The obtained Rb–Sr age values for ore-bearing metasomatites (132±1 Ma) indicate subsynchronism of the ore process and crystallization of alkaline syenites, which corresponds to the time of manifestation of the main stage of magmatism in the Aldan Mesozoic igneous province (150–115 Ma). The rocks of the Gora Rudnaya do not differ in petrogeochemical and isotope-geochemical characteristics from rocks of similar composition from other massifs of the Aldan Mesozoic igneous province, indicating a wide lateral distribution of enriched EM I type mantle beneath the studied region. Variations in the initial isotopic composition of neodymium ((143Nd/144Nd) : from 0.511375 to 0.511636) in the studied samples are probably due to the heterogeneity of the source composition. At the same time, the calculated model ages indicate that the enriched mantle source was formed no later than 2.0–2.5 Ga.

present the first results of a comprehensive isotope-geochemical study of dolomitic carbonatites of the Mal'dzhangarka massif located in the southeast of the Billyakh melange zone (southeastern periphery of the Anabar Shield). Zircon grains separated from core samples from a depth of 6-30 m have a three-phase structure. All of them were trapped from the host metamorphic rocks and mark the age of the main stage of high-gradient metamorphism in the region, 2027 +/- 9 Ma. Pyrochlore containing 38-705 ppm U and 5-21 ppm radiogenic Pb, with weak metamictization of the crystal lattice and an undisturbed U-Pb system, made it possible to estimate the concordant age of rare-metal mineralization in the massif, 167 +/- 4 Ma, which is probably close to the crystallization age of the host carbonatites. The estimated age corresponds to one of the stages of kimberlite-carbonatite magmatism on the eastern slope of the Anabar dome. The Re-Os isotope system of pyrite from superposed late carbonate-sulfide veinlets in the carbonatites testifies to a close (within the error of determination) age, 179 +/- 14 Ma, and a low initial Os isotope ratio, which indicates the contribution of mantle material to the formation of this isotope system.
