About Metallogenic Zoning of Geological Structures of the Great Altai

Summary In the paper the features of the formation and metallogeny of the geological structures of Great Altai (Rudny Altai, Kalba-Narym, Western Kalba and Jarma-Saur) which are included into the system of the Central Asian mobile belt are considered.Great Altai - the most important center of the color and the gold mining industry of Kazakhstan. It concentrated large deposits of copper, lead, zinc, there are deposits of rare metals and other minerals. However, to date the fund is easily discovered deposits is almost exhausted, the remaining reserves in the interior will be enough for the first ten years. Development of new prognostic and search technologies based on modern geological and geodynamic concepts of ore formation, leading ore petrological, geophysical, and mineralogical and geochemical estimation criteria, using high-precise analytical base. Conducted metallogenic studies have shown that there are perspectives in the region to strengthen the mineral resource base.
