The present work analyzes the specimens of orthite (allanite) mineral ores obtained from the Vernadsky mine (Slyudyanka River, Irkutsk region) and Yuzhno-Bogatyrskoye occurrence (Kuznetsk Alatau). The elemental chemical composition of the ore was determined by electronic microscopy of the specimen’s surface. The study establishes that uranium and thorium in orthite ores of the Yuzhno-Bogatyrskoye occurrence are mainly represented by their separate minerals, while the content of the orthite phase in the form of their isomorphic inclusion is small.
