The Ufalei metamorphic complex is located in the Southern Urals. It has been studied by geologists and scientists from various organizations of the system of universities and institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences for a long time. This complex was repeatedly activated in the Precambrian and Paleozoic, and therefore its minerageny is characterized by polygenicity and polychrony. Deposits and ore occurrences are concentrated here: titanomagnetite, ceramic, rare-earth and muscovite granite pegmatites, rare-earth-rare-metal albitites, carbonatites, apatite nelsonites with xenotime, ferruginous quartzites, greisen with molybdenite, quartz veins of various ontogenic types - mica, Ufalei, Pugachev and Ishtym Shcherbakovskiy. Almost all deposits are confined to suture rift zones of Precambrian origin, which were activated during the Paleozoic collision. The current state of knowledge of the Ufaley metamorphic complex allowes us to consider it as an object of complex mineral raw materials, to which an adequate approach should be applied in the study and development.
