The results of geochemical, U-Pb geochronological, Sm-Nd isotopic-geochemical studies of granites of the Medvedka Massif in the northern part of the Nora–Sukhotino terrane are presented. It has been found that these granites are of 378 ± 3 Ma in age. It was shown that these granites are characterized by the presence of ferruginous silicates, high iron index (FeO*/(FeO*+MgO)), low concentrations of Al2O3, CaO, MgO, high contents of Nb, Ga, Y, deficiency of Sr, Eu, positive values of εNd(t) (+3.0...+4.1), and high values of the ratio Y/Nb. In total, this indicates that the granites of the Medvedka massif are related to A2-type granites. The Late Devonian hastingsite-biotite granites of the Medvedka Massif most likely reflect evidence of the transform continental margin setting in the history of the formation of the South Mongolian – Khingan orogenic belt.
