Abstract
The paper deals with the petrography and geochemistry of graphite-bearing granitoids (garnet-biotite granites, leucogranites, pegmatoid granites, pegmatites, plagioclasites, and syenites) composing up to 2 m thick veins among blastomylonites and blastocataclasites in the southeast of the Main Sayan Fault, at the boundary between the Sharyzhalgai uplift of the basement of the Siberian Platform and the Caledonian Slyudyanka crystalline complex. The granitoids are the products of crystallization of low-temperature (760-710
