The wealth of the bowels of Kazakhstan has not yet been exhausted, there are promising areas that are currently insufficiently studied, especially at depth. The reason for the insufficient knowledge of geological structures in depth is the lack of a theoretical basis for geological research and justification for the forecast of prospect for minerals. In this regard, geology faces the question of creating a scientific approach for predicting new prospect areas, especially at depth. Our analysis shows that the princ...

Granitoids are very developed and widespread geological formations on the territory of Kazakhstan. Many mineral deposits are associated with them, in addition, they themselves are useful minerals, like building materials. The Shu-Ile tectonic belt in Kazakhstan is a large region of the Paleozoic granitoid massif. Many deposits of gold, non-ferrous metals and rare earth elements are associated with them. One of them is the Jeltau leucogranites complex, with which most of the facing stone objects are associated. In ...

Many exploited mineral deposits are at the final stage of development. The depletion of mineral reserves leads to a reduction in the volume of production and output, as well as to the social tension of single-industry towns, whose activities are directly dependent on the mining and processing industries of the economy. In our research, the initial data are the materials of geological observations and testing of tailings storages of the copper ore beneficiation factories of Kazakhstan. Studies on the composition an...

The Shu-Ile tectonic zone is located along the Jalaiyr-Naiman deep fault (geosuture). It stretches in a northwestern direction, passing in the northern part of the territory into a submeridional direction. It stretches in a narrow strip of about 600 km and is a section of the second ring structure of Kazakhstan. Deposits and occurrences of iron, chromium and non-ferrous metals, gold and rare metals are associated with this geosuture zone. In general, the tectonic structure of the area is quite complex due to the d...

For prospecting works on the Karsakpai-Ulytau area, we used computer modeling of geological structures and a forecast of possible associated minerals. The Karsakpai- Ulytau ore district is located in the ring geosuture zone of Kazakhstan, represented by deep faults and crushing zones, which served as channels for the penetration of mantle melts into the Earth's crust. The area has a complex geological history. The combination of igneous, metamorphogenic and sedimentogenic geological formations of the Proterozoic a...
