Tóm tắt

The age of the main productive phase of ore formation at the large Solnechnoe tin deposit has been estimated for the first time based on the study of the Rb-Sr isotopic system of hydrothermal quartz and adularia from ore veins and metasomatic rocks. The Rb-Sr isochron age (84 ± 1 Ma) of mineralization coincides with the age of intrusive rocks pertaining to the third phase of the Silinka Complex, which control tin mineralization. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios of ore-forming solution and granitic rocks of the final intrusive phase are close to each other, indicating that the granitic melt was most likely one of the main sources of metals. The long and multistage formation history of the deposit could have been caused by complex geodynamic evolution of the Sikhote-Alin accretionary fold region in the Cretaceous.
