Geology
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 Shozhe, Lukon, Skalistoye ore occurrence, etc., located within the Medvedko-Akhmetkinsky ore field. The ore field belongs to the central part of the Karagoin-Saryozek pegmatite zone, the Kalba-Narym granitoid belt. Within the field, the main favorable factors for the placement of rare-metal mineralization are considered: geological-structural (tectonic disturbances and ore-bearing environment) and mineralogical-geochemical (indicator minerals of lithium-bearing pegmatites and geochemical elements Li, Rb, Cs, Ta, Nb).

The study was supported by Geology Committee of the Ministry of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan (grants BR10264558). We greatly appreciate B. A. Dyachkov, Professor, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and A. G. Vladimirov, Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who both sadly passed away in 2021. We also wish to thank our colleagues Smirnov S.Z. and Mizernaya M.A. for collaboration. Thanks are extended to Kuzmina O.N., Khromykh S.V., Annikova I.Y., and Kotler P.D who contributed a lot to the joint geological research. Analysts from the VERITAS engineering laboratory and from the V.S. Sobolev Institute of Geology and Mineralogy (Novosibirsk) have performed good analytical work.
