Kazakhstan has rich reserves of copper. Stratiform copper sandstones and copper-porphyry deposits are the main industrial types of copper ore: The largest deposit of copper sandstones is Zhezkazgan (Central Kazakhstan), and Aktogay is a large deposit of copper-porphyry type (east Kazakhstan). This article describes these two deposits. The Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the world's most important provinces on reserves of copper. In Kazakhstan, there are large deposits of copper, as well as mining companies and st...

The deposit Kokkyia is located in the exocontact zone of granodiorite intrusion, and zones of hydrothermal alteration, which enclose gold mineralization, are controlled by small intrusions of diorite and syenite of the Upper Devonian intrusive complex and are located in volcanic rocks of sour alkali and medium composition. Practically all the difference of rocks are affected by the processes of hydrothermal changes and are shown as the processes of propylitic nature: albitization, feldspathization, chloritization,...

Kazakhstan has a special geological structure, which is not explained in full as from the position of geosyncline paradigm, and from a position of plate-tectonics. A comparison of the actual field geological research record of the paleozoic geological structures with the principles of plume tectonics shows that they are in good agreement. According to geological data, to develop superplume and its formation took place in the Paleozoic, which lasted impulsively with Ordovician to lower Permian. The Influence of thi...

With clastic sedimentary rocks associated deposits of ore, oil-and-gas, coal and non-metallic minerals. They are located in a variety of different age strata structural-tectonic stages. Sedimentary rocks composing these fields are often framework rocks or minerals themselves are economic minerals. Depending on the age and affinity to specific structural and tectonic tier breeds are in various stages of the penecontemporaneous transformation. By the degree of transformation of organic matter in the clastic rocks ca...
