Abstract
Small lakes of Transbaikalia and Northeastern Mongolia united in five systems – Barguzin, Eravnoye-Gusinoozersk, Ingoda, Onon-Borzya and Eastern Mongolian – are characterized. Within the boundaries of the systems, the lakes are assorted in compact groups characterized by common chemical composition and type of geochemical evolution. Ground and surface waters feeding the lakes are characterized. On the basis of the examination of the microelement composition of lake sources (about 200 lakes) and ground waters (more than 100 sources, wells and holes), the elements concentrating during evaporation of lake waters were distinguished. The outlooks of the use of small lakes as a kind of liquid ore for the industrial extraction of some metals (Li, U, REE etc.) are considered.
