Abstract— Based on Sm–Nd data, a crustal source of iron-ore fluid was substantiated and the probability age estimation for hydrothermal–metasomatic siderite Bakal Group, Southern Urals, shown first time. The εNd (Т) values (from –13.4 to –17.6) plot in field Riphean shale not Precambrian rift gabbro granite this region. obtained is 970 ± 40 Ma, which consistent with Pb–Pb from major ore phase (...
