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 ...

The studied intrusive massif is an ellipse elongated in the sublatitudinal direction. Only the eastern part, 2.2x4 km in size, is exposed on the earth surface. Under the sediments, the intrusion was traced by boreholes and aeromagnetic survey. The intrusion is a sheetlike body of a fractured nature, inclined to the southwest. A zone of marmorized limestones, as well as tremolite and wolastonite hornfelses, formed at the contact with the intrusion. Among the intrusive rocks that make up the massif, three successive...

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...
