PECULIARITIES OF GOLD MINERALIZATION IN THE DEVONIAN CARBONATES OF THE ALMALYK ORE DISTRICT

The expansion of the mineral resource potential of the Republic of Uzbekistan is a problem of high relevance, the conceptual solution of which is largely associated with the discovery of new, unconventional types of ore deposits.
Despite a significant share of the increase in gold reserves, which fall on large and unique deposits, an increase in gold reserves in the Almalyk ore region with a developed infrastructure of the mining industry is possible due to the discovery of small, compact deposits for small-volume production with an open pit mining in terrigenous-carbonate deposits.
