Kazakhstan is on leading position in the world in terms of reserves and mining of copper ores. There are 30 deposits with approved reservest. Nowadays, the copper industry of the Rrepublic is provided with a raw material base. Among them, the Zhezkazgan deposit remains unique in terms of reserves and a set of components. The main geological and industrial types of copper deposits (in terms of mining) are deposits of copper sandstones (58%), copper pyrite (17.1%), copper porphyry (8.2%), scarn (4.2%), etc. In the t...

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...

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...
