Abstract

Mineralogical and U–Pb (ID-TIMS) geochronological studies of garnets from three types of scarn associations of the Khovu-Aksy Ag–Bi–Cu–Ni–Co deposit (Republic of Tuva) are carried out. The U–Pb garnet age estimate (404 ± 2 Ma) is close to the Early Devonian stage of basite and alkaline-basite magmatism identified within the Tuva trough of the Altai-Sayan folded area. The age of the scarn formation and the associated early stage of mineralization of the Khovu-Aksy Ag–Bi–Cu–Ni–Co deposit has been established for the first time.
