The results of U–Pb-isotopic dating of detrital zircons from sandstones of the Proterozoic Pogor`uy Fm. from the northern and southern parts of the Eastern-Angara block of the Yenisei Ridge are presented. The sandstones of the northern part of the Eastern-Angara block are dominated by the Archean and Paleoproterozoic populations of detrital zircons, while in the samples from the southern part of the Eastern-Angara block up to 25% of the Mesoproterozoic age grains have been fixed. The dates of detrital zircons allow us to constrain the maximum sedimentary age of the Pogor`uy Fm. and the entire interval of its formation as 1.2–0.9 Ga. The paleogeographic features of the formation of the Pogor`uy Fm. in the context of existing views on a location of Siberia within the Rodinia supercontinent are considered.
