Alkaline metasomatites along Main Sayan Fault. The occurrence localited in the middle flow of Kitoi river on boundary between precambrian Sharyzhalgaiskii inlier and Kitoikan structure zone of the Central-Asian fault belt.
REE-bearing alkaline metasomatic rocks (quartz–albite–microcline–riebeckite–aegirine, quartz–albite–microcline–magnetite, and clinopyroxene–albite), occurring in the Main Sayan Fault zone at the boundary of Precambrian basement rocks of the Siberian platform with metamorphosed carbonatites and terrigeneous rocks of the Kitoy lithotectonic zone.
