Abstract

This work presents new data on rare-metal topaz-“zinnwaldite” granite dikes of the Salmi anorthosite-rapakivigranite complex of rocks. The isotopic age of Ta–Nb mineralization: the columbite-(Fe) – tantalite-(Fe) series and tapiolite was determined by the U–Pb method (ID-TIMS, 1541±2.5 Ma). Conclusions are given about the age limitations of the associated rocks, intersected by similar dikes, and the discreteness of the rare-metal magmatism manifestation in the studied area.
