(2014)	10.1016/j.rgg.2014.01.008	RGG55_237	spodumene pegmatites of the South Sangilen belt crystallized from melts in the presence of reduced C–O–H–N fluids—typical components of deep fluid flows (Kyznetsova, 2011; Kuznetsova and Prokof’ev, 2009). The detected features of the trace-element and fluid compositions of the pegmatites suggest the influence of mantle fluids on the mineralization, which was one of the factors contributing to the formation of the Tastyg large Li deposit (Kuznetsova, 2009, 2011).
