The paper presents the first results of U-Pb LA-ICP-MS isotope dating (GIN RAS) of accessory zircon from magmatites of the Kastel Mountain and detrital zircons from the sandy matrix of conglomerates of the lower subformation of the Demerdzhi formation (vicinity of the Southern Demerdzhi Mountain). The three age estimates – (±1σ) – 147±1, 156±1 and 167±1 Ma, – obtained for granitoids of the Kastel intrusive, are consistent with the concept of its longterm and multi-stage magmatic evolution.
