Abstract

The Borgulikan ore field is localized in the west of the Umlekan-Ogodzha volcanoplutonic belt made up of various igneous (upper-Amur granite-granodiorite (140-134 Ma), Burunda monzodiorite-granodiorite (130-127 Ma), and Taldan andesite (127-123 Ma)) and superposed (Early Cretaceous Gal'ka trachybasalt-rhyolite (119-115 Ma) and Late Cretaceous trachybasalt-trachyandesite (97-94 Ma)) complexes. 40Ar/39Ar dating of porphyry intrusions breaking through the Taldan volcanic complex and associated with Cu-Mo-(Au) mineralization yielded the following ages: early (dark)
