Abstract. The petrographic and geochemical composition of rocks from the Ulbey pluton and Shakh stock is presented. The U-Pb (SHRIMP) age of the Ulbey pluton is 135.8 ± 1.3 Ma and the age of the Shakh stock ranges from 103 ± 0.7 to 109 ± 1 Ma. The rock potential for porphyry copper mineralization is given for the first time based on indicative features of zircons. It is concluded that the rocks of the Shakh stock are promising for the finding of porphyry copper mineralization in contrast to those of the Ulbey pluton.
