Popis: Abstract— Based on Sm–Nd data, a crustal source of iron-ore fluid was substantiated and the probability of age estimation for hydrothermal–metasomatic siderite of the Bakal Group, Southern Urals, was shown for the first time. The εNd (Т) values of siderite (from –13.4 to –17.6) plot in the field of Riphean shale and not the Precambrian rift gabbro and granite of this region. The obtained Sm–Nd age of the Bakal siderite is 970 ± 40 Ma, which is consistent with the Pb–Pb age of siderite from the major ore phase (~1000 Ma). The established age boundary coincides with tectonic restructuring, including the formation of a number of barite–polymetallic deposits, as well as ferruginous magnesite and fluorite in the Riphean deposits on the western slope of the Southern Urals.
