In this paper, the geochemical indicators based on the concentrations of alkaline and alkaline earth macroelements (K, Na, Ca, Mg), as well as aluminum and silicon, were studied for the territory of the Basegi Ridge on the western slope of the Middle Urals. The basin of the Malyi Baseg River on the Northern Baseg Mountain was singled out as a key site. The bulk composition of all elements was measured with the help of X-ray fluorescence. The calculations of the indices given above show that the
