The present study aims to develop methodological approaches for the investigation of fine-dispersed gold in ores from primary (bedrock) deposits and placers, with the objective of improving recovery efficiency. The type of gold under investigation exhibits a number of distinctive characteristics that substantially differentiate the conditions of its concentration, distribution within ore horizons and bodies, and the reliability of its analytical determination using conventional methods from those applicable to sma...

Rare metals such as Sn, W, Ta, Nb, Li and rare earth elements are essential for modern technologies, renewable energy systems and advanced materials. Their growing demand increases the importance of studying rare-metal provinces and identifying new perspective areas. The Kalba–Narym belt in Eastern Kazakhstan is one of the main rare-metal regions of Central Asia. However, the potential of its south-eastern part remains insufficiently evaluated. This paper considers the Cherdoyak deposit as an example of greisenâ...

The territory surrounding the Tekeli polymetallic tailing storage facility (SE Kazakhstan) represents a highly transformed technogenic landscape where natural ecosystems have been replaced by heterogeneous ecotopes with distinct abiotic constraints. This study aims to classify technogenic ecotopes and characterize their abiotic parameters to provide a scientific basis for ecological restoration. Four major ecotopes were identified based on geomorphology, substrate origin, granulometric structure, moisture regime, ...
