The Lipnyazka massif is located in the Dobrovelychkivsky district of the Kirovohrad region, v. Lipnyazka and further south. Structurally, it is located within the Bratskyy Synclinorium of the Ingul megablock and coincides with the Mikhailovsky anticline. The main petrotype of the massif rocks are porphyry-like granites, often with a gneiss-like texture, aplito-pegmatoid, pegmatoid granites and pegmatites. The latter most often form secant vein bodies. Uranium-lead isotopic dating of granitoids of the Lipnyazka granite massif has been performed, with which a number of deposits and ore occurrences of rare elements, primarily lithium, are spatially and probably genetically connected. The age of porphyry-like granites (2032 ± 6 million years), which is the main petrotype of rocks distributed in the area of the village of Limestone and pegmatoid granites (2027 ± 1 million years), which cut porphyry-like in the form of vein bodies. Aplithoid framed granites (2046 ± 8 million years old), common in the area of the mouth of the Sukhyi Tashlyk River (Dobryanka village), are somewhat older. Based on the results of determining the isotopic composition of strontium in the accessory apatite of granites, a conclusion was made about the upper crust source of granites of the Lipnyazka massif (87Sr/86Sr – 0.730-0.785).
Granitoids play a key role in the geological structure of the Ros-Tikych megablock. Supercrustal rocks of the Ros-Tikych series have been preserved in the granitoids only in the form of isolated fragments such as elongated remains, small skialites and even smaller "melted" xenoliths. In particular, in the Ostrivsky quarry, located on the right bank of the Ros River east of Bila Tserkva, granitoids are found (even-grained, porphyry-like granites) among which, as a rule, small bodies of granodiorites, plagiogranites and amphibolites occur. In order to determine the source of the parent magmas of rocks the properties of zircon crystals and the isotopic composition (87Sr/86Sr ratio) of apatite were studied. An analysis of the zircon crystals of the crystalline rocks exposed at the Ostrivsky quarry allows us to propose that the and plagio- and difeldspar granites were formed from one protolith. This is because they contain similar virtually identical zircon relics as nucleus. In addition, none of the granitoids contain zircon crystals whose internal structure is similar to zircon crystals found in amphibolite. This suggests that the granitoids were not derived by melting of amphibolites. Most likely, amphibolites are relicts of the protolith that were not assimilated during granite formation. The occurrence of heterogeneous zircon crystals (relic zircon cores of the protolith) in the protolith of the various studied granitoids indicates that they formed from volcanic-sedimentary rocks. Apatites in plagiogranitoids and porphyry granite contain strontium of similar isotopic composition. Their 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratio is 0.70680 in apatite granodiorite and 0.70822 in granite. A high ratio of 87Sr/86Sr = 0.77940 was measured for apatite from monazite-bearing granite, thus indicating a different source for its parent magma.
The Haisyn complex rocks (sobites (Shcherbakov, 2005)), consisting of diorite-like rocks and amphibolites, which biotite granites develop, is outcroping near the village of Shumyliv along the South Bug river and in an abandoned open pit mine (on South of Shumyliv). The rocks are characterized by high magnetization according to magnetic survey results. A linear magnetic anomaly extends in the north-east direction (NE 69º) with a distance of more than 35 km. Entin et al. (2019) proposed that this magnetic anomaly is caused by a dyke with a felsic or intermediate composition. The internal structure of accessory zircon crystals from quartz diorite and granite were studied. In both types of rocks, zircon crystals are complex and consist of three different generations. The first generation consists of fractured nuclei of light pink color, which apparently grew in rims of zircon of the 2nd and/or 3rd generation. Zircon of the second generation is light pink in color. It forms rims around the first generation of zircon, but also occasionally occurs the interior core areas of crystals. Third generation zircon forms rims around the first two generation zircons, or growth episodes. As usually, the heads of crystals have a light brown to brown color. The age of formation of monazite in the granite and titanite in the quartz diorite was determined by the uranium-lead isotope method. The two endogenous geological processes have ages of 2049 ± 6 million years and 2005±2 million years, respectively.
