THERMOCHRONOLOGY AND MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF THE FORMATION DYNAMICS OF RARE‐METAL‐GRANITE DEPOSITS OF THE ALTAI COLLISION SYSTEM by N. G. Murzintsev, I. Yu. Annikova, A. V. Travin, A. G. Vladimirov, B. A. Dyachkov, V. I. Maslov, T. A. Oitseva, O. A. Gavryushkina

“…The multi‐system and multi‐mineral isotope datings of igneous rocks and ore bodies (U/Pb, Re/Os, Rb/Sr, Ar/Ar‐methods) suggest the postcollisional (intraplate) formation of ore‐magmatic systems (OMS), the duration of which depended on the crustmantle interaction and the rates of tectonic exposure of geoblocks to the upper crustal levels.Two cases of the OMS thermal history are described: (1) Kalguty Mo‐W deposit associated with rare‐metal granite‐leucogranites and ongonite‐ elvan dykes, and (2) Novo‐Akhmirov Li‐Ta deposit represented by topaz‐zinnwaldite granites and the contemporary lamprophyre and ongonit‐elvan dykes. …”
