The aim of this study is to conduct an in-depth analysis of data on the genesis of pegmatite deposits of the Kalba-Narym rare metal belt, features of rare metal mineralization. The research methodology includes the analysis of existing information on the study of geology and structural-tectonic conditions of the formation of rare metal deposits within the central part of the Kalba-Narym batholith. Field studies, sampling (more than 40 samples), and study of the mineralogical composition of pegmatites and host rock...

The objective of this study is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the mineral resource base in Kazakhstan, specifically focusing on copper, zinc, lead, and gold, with the aim of identifying key determinants crucial for ensuring its sustainable development. The mineral resource sector serves as a cornerstone of Kazakhstan's economy and industrial landscape. This article seeks to elucidate the critical parameters defining its current state, placing particular emphasis on the presence and quality of mineral deposits....

Lithium is a fast growing sector. It is used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles such as hybrid cars, electric vehicles or e-bikes. The need for this element is dictated by modern demand. The main deposits of lithium, known in Kazakhstan, were explored back in Soviet times, and since then not everyone understood the need for this metal, they were mothballed as a strategic reserve. Such objects include the Medvedka, Akhmetkino deposits, the Sh...

The East Kazakhstan territory is the unique geologic province where a number of largescale non-ferrous and gold deposits are concentrated. Gold base metals (goldcontaining) type is represented by gold containing sulphide complex deposits. The Western Kalba zone is characterized as a gold-bearing structure of multi-stage development and long ore-preparation and ore-forming processes. At the first stage, in the conditions of the intercontinental sea basin (C1-2, C2), the donor carbon-terrigenous formation (Arkalyk, ...

Currently the resources of rare metals, especially Ta, Nb, Be, and Li used in high-tech industries, are of great demand in Kazakhstan and worldwide. Main Ta, Nb, Be, Li, Sn, and W deposits in the Great Altai territory are hosted by Permian granitic belts that formed during the Late Paleozoic-Early Mesozoic orogeny, in a postcollisional setting. The largest metallogenic structure of the Kalba-Narym granitoid belt accommodates many genetically different deposits and occurrences. Pegmatitic rare-metal deposits have v...
